[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1446195882' post='2897577'] Looks great What sort of neck profile is it? Is it an older, 70's shape neck, or the more modern "C" shape / profile? [/quote]excuse my ignorance but I don't know. If the C shape means the neck has a pronounce arching of the fretboard then I'd say no, there is a contour but it's quite a mild one. If the c shape refers to the back of the neck then I would say it's rounder than my 97 USA Fender but that is a 5er and my only Fender reference . It is similar to my 2000 Stingray, whatever letter of the alphabet thats shaped too...lol

[quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1444853848' post='2886790'] Damn, this is tasty! (^ o ^) GLWTS. [/quote]thanks

cool build 70's style (not) Fender Jazz body with P neck. really nice quality components and premium hardware EMG (gold logo) active p'ups 'n harness (added battery compartment on back of body) Schaller 3D bridge Schaller straplocks black brass knurled controls Pitted chrome aged machine heads - work exceptionally well with virtually no excess play (unknown brand) WD scratchplate proper routing under the scratchplate, none of those nasty surface trenches!! had this bass for quite a while and gigged it a lot but not lately - originally bought on Ebay so don't have the history. It is a beaut' but I'm moving it on if anyone's interested. I recommend coming over and having a play - not keen on a blind sale as it is a 'bitza' Would consider trading but you wont get any cash out of me.
