I agree about the neck. I'll take a screenshot of your comments in order that, as you say, should it ever be sold-on, any new owner will be aware of what they are buying. It was certainly interesting to read about the bass and pick up some of its 'history'. The dealer you mentioned had another two 70's up for sale at the time I bought this one. Were either of those yours - one was a '78 natural and the other, a '73 Sunburst if I recall?
