When you say 1978 / 1980 does that mean it was made somewhere between these years or something like it's a '78 body with an '80 neck?
Also - do you know roughly how much it weighs and which of the various P bass neck profiles and nut widths it has?
My old '76 had a really chunky neck and weighed a ton but I think Fenders from around this era varied quite a lot [/quote]
Hi Molan,
The Body and neck are stamped 1978 and the pots and pick ups are stammped 1980. I believe them to be original to the bass. From what I have read this is fairly comman with instruments made in this era as Fender were using up parts that had been in stock for a while.
On a Calibrated set of scales the Bass weighs 4.476 Kg which is 9.867 Lbs.

I will get back to you with nut width etc as i will have to take some measurements.
Kind regards
Chris
