Help with a 74 Precision

[bassistjoe93]

I bought a white ‘74 P Bass. I was curious your opinions on the pickguard and electronics being original? It’s old, but I wasn’t sure if it’s original. My 75 has a black pickguard and I know that black became the standard around that time? Also, foam is stuck to the bottom of the pickups so I can’t read the serial numbers there. I don’t think the pots are original but they also look old.

Thanks!

74 tort is possible, 304 stackpole pots, grey bobbins ---> looks all fine.

100% original and unmolested. Excellent! Tort still showed up into early-mid '74.

Love to see the whole bass. Nothing looks out of kilter there.

Congrats.

Its original.

Thanks y’all!
Here’s the full pic - have it strung with flats and still has the original foam under the bridge cover. Really great sounding bass. Has some good figure in the headstock and neck

Didn’t know Stackpole pots were also factory with these—my ‘74 has CTS.

A classic look. Congrats.
