Mine is best described as a Jazz neck. The OP will have his own measurements ready for you, I'm sure. Where are you these days Sean? -
Quite possibly the nicest-sounding bass I've ever played. That comparison puts it up against Fender, Status, Lakland, Alleva Coppolo, Mike Lull, and Alembic. I doubt if that's all down to the pickups, of course. The quality of the construction is superb and the materials used lend themselves to a wonderfully tight & punchy tone.

Oh come on guys, the wooden whammy bar attached to a bungee cord is sheer genius and you know it. You're just ticked off because you didn't think of it first. -
Talkbass ... Talkbass ... oh yes, I remember them. Long time since I bothered to log in though. Most over-policed Forum I ever did encounter.

I'm now keeping an eye out for a Wal violin bow ...

I thought the bridge was simply to DIE for, darling ...

Oooh! I hadn't thought of that. Paging @KiOgon ...

It's a Fishman Fission Powerchord, so not a cheap piece of kit. I was very clumsy taking it off my pedalboard with the power supply still plugged into the pedal - Doh! - and the plug essentially got dragged out at an angle. I heard a quiet but rather crisp 'click' and the pedal hasn't worked since. I'm guessing that the input socket has become partially/fully detached from the circuit board and needs to be placed back in position, but what do I know? I'm looking for either a Basschatter who's good at this sort of thing, or a recommendation for a pro who'll take on the job.

It wasn't what I expected.

Ooooh! That takes me back. Had one of those in my first studio. -
OK, that's something I'd pay good money to watch. 😉 -
Bit of a long shot, but I have a QSC PLX1202 (21 lbs, so roughly half the weight of your 2450) which could be part of a solution? -
... but why would you boast about it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hand-made-Fretless-bass-guitar/224234468865?hash=item34356a7601:g:l70AAOSw5Jdfr--l

At least it's plug-together and play.

DB & EUB Live - please post your footage!

And that's the bass that inspired me to commission this: -
I'm guessing those $prices turn into £prices in the UK, and on a 1:1 ratio. If that's the case, then happy to see that my personal estimate for the value of my April 1957 Precision is absolutely ballpark.
-
Oops! Sorry mate ... Any chance you could put me in touch with the buyer? I reckon I could do business with someone like that. 😂

I remember it well, Chris. I was desperate to like Jazz basses and had no idea how to identify a 'good one' ... your help that day was invaluable. Plus it was fun too. And no, I still don't get on with Jazz basses. It took me FAR too long to realise that the sound in my head was a Precision.

Blimey Luke, talk about apples & pears! That Andy Baxter bass is a genuine, all-original Precision from one of the UK's best-known and most reputable dealers. It is also IMHO horribly over-priced, and it will only be worth that amount of money if someone buys it for £13,500. Which patently has not happened. Yet. 😉 The bass in the OP for this topic may very well be built on a genuine 1958 but there is no way of knowing. With no provenance, no evidence, but plenty of admissions about refins and parts replacements, it could be just about anything.
