Looking at the picture of the back of the headstock, is that the original neck? As they didn't start stamping headstocks like that until around two years ago...

Cheers

Without checking the serial number, my guess would be this was a replacement neck ordered for the bass, with its original serial number printed on.

Interested if the neck dimensions are the modern dimensions or based on the original neck, as they are different.

If that's a new neck, this is a bargain.

The neck on my 2016 corvette masterbuilt is bloody lovely, with a slim C profile. Nicer than my '06 thumb.

I know, I'd just go and see it if it were local but its not! So just want to know the back story behind it all.

Is it the camera angle, or is the nut narrower than the neck as well?
