1973 Fender Precision Bass in Sunburst Left-handed Converted to Right, (Used, Comm)

The 1973 Fender Precision Bass in Sunburst, originally built as a left-handed instrument, has been carefully converted for right-handed use. This involved reversing the string setup and fitting a new nut, ensuring the string spacing and slotting match the correct orientation for proper playability. These modifications allow the bass to function seamlessly as a right-handed instrument while retaining its vintage authenticity.

This model features the classic construction of early 1970s Precision Basses, with a solid alder body in a three-colour sunburst finish, a maple neck and fingerboard. At its heart is the iconic split-coil humbucking pickup, delivering the unmistakable punch, warmth, and clarity that has defined the Precision Bass across decades of recorded and live music. The neck profile and hardware reflect Fender’s design choices of the era, preserving its period-correct character.

With the conversion work complete, the instrument combines the appeal of a genuine early ’70s Fender with the practicality of right-handed play. The new nut and string orientation ensure tuning stability and accurate setup, while the bass retains the resonance, feel, and tonal authority that make vintage Precisions so highly regarded among players and collectors.
