(mind you - 1973 - not exactly a classic fender year is it... I'd have been more tempted by a PEB Stingray but I was born 3 years too early)

I wouldn't take too much notice of the oft quoted, by internet experts, nonsense about 70's Fenders.
I'm not saying that there weren't some shoddy ones and some heavy ones but honestly, there were plenty of really fine ones.
I know that Discreet has mentioned that his one is a cracker and I also have a 74 that is one very lovely instrument.
