I thought it was a pretty rad find too! I just grabbed the details from the Reverb listing to make things easier.

"Fender Prototype Road Worn Fiesta Red Precision Bass Body with Fender American Vintage '57 Precision Bass Neck.

American Vintage Tuning Machines,
American Vintage Precision Bass Pickup,
American Vintage '70s Precision/Jazz Bridge
American Vintage Precision Bass Control Knobs
CTS Pots
American Vintage Tortoise Shell Pickguard
Fender Custom Shop Designed Neck Plate

I got this body from a buddy who worked at Fender. The body was one of the first original color samples for the Fiesta Red Roadworn color. If you take the pickguard off you'll see the Fender R&D sticker on the top of the body."

Oh jeez. That's fucking awesome. Score! Also, two prototypes on one page, double score!

two of my all time favorite basses back to back. Looking good everybody!

Holy fuck. I am into thissss.

New Bass Day!

YESSSS!

Got it for $325!
Took some setting up since the guy I got it from didn't know how to. Thinking about stringing some Kalium strings on it tuned BEAD.

Score!

I've been on thr lookout for a cheap black one (TWSS) but at that price I would've jumped like Usain Bolt on the starting blocks...

I wasn't a fan of the natural ones myself, was planning on possibly staining it, but it looks so much better in person. It's actually way darker and has a much deeper color than I can get in pictures, which do this Bass no justice. Also, I was expecting this Bass to be much heavier than it is, but at 11.5 pounds its not really that much of an issue unless you got back and shoulder problems. Still need to plug it in to fully demo it and whatnot.

pretty cool! Are those white tapewounds?

sorry, the pic is a bit blurry, but i'm too tired to take a good one.
anyway, here's my two grecos and a sligthly modded gibby.

Nope, just regular strings.
