What size is it?[/quote] Hi, no its actually a custom made neck I bought over in America with a fender decal added. So basically its a fender neck, not made by fender if that makes sense aha In terms of size, its just the standard size of Precisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure about this but i think you might get in to trouble selling this here, especially as you have listed the bass with the word Fender and its not. I know your being up front but im not sure if its legal to sell a non fender neck with a Fender logo on it. Im sure i read a long topic recently where someone was selling Fender logos to put on other basses and all hell was let loose. Just a warning. I personally would have no issue buying this if i could afford it. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I wasn't aware of the legal mumbo jumbo, but as long as people do know this is a custom bass then there's not much I can do, unless I closed the topic, but then if I found it to be okay.. hmm, catch 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Dude change the title of the thread - it will give you a better chance at attracting the kind of people that want to buy this bass. I can see Fender fans clicking to view it and getting miffed that it's a bitsa, conversely there are folk out there who wouldn't touch a Fender with a bargepole because of their QC issues who would love a nice bitsa.
