Jeez that’s a lot of rig for not a lot of cash 👍

Ah, a coincidence and a half!

Early '70s IIRC, the board had not been especially well done and needed some wizardry from Paul to get it right. I bought it to go on a mongrel '71 P/J I had at the time but realised after all the hassle and work that the bass in question worked better with a Precision neck 🤔 It was also an expensive lesson in not trusting everything an apparently expert and highly rated musical instrument dealer tells you about a neck 😡

Unless there's two extremelty similar necks out there (split in the binding at the heel being the giveaway), I suspect that's my old neck, bought form the US around 15 years back, and then worked on by Paul Herman at Wal. Although sold to me as 'original', it's not original per se in that the board has been replaced (unlined and bound ebony boards not having been an option on 70's Jazzes). But it remains a lovely neck 👍

I'm going to experiment with the Status neck on a Jazz body routed for an MM PUP, I love the tone of the Ray, I love the playability of the Status neck 👍

That’s a fair point 🤔

If you want it be quick however, as I appear to be changing my mind a lot at the moment and it wouldn't take a lot of convincing for me to keep it

Rather torn about this and certainly not overly keen to sell, but I bought it recently to do a better job than a Status Jazz in an RHCP project but I think I prefer the Jazz. I'm selling for slightly less than I paid, c'est la vie. Trade-wise I'd like a decently large amp, Boogie, Ampeg, WHYG? This has a forearm contour that I assume is a modification (as opposed to factory), but as you can see, has been very well done. I can get to London or most of SE (or beyond) for a handover, and given this thing is 100% bombproof I'm happy to post in a hard case 👍 More details here

That is a bargain 👍
