That neck is more like Fisher Price.

Also, really like the philips screws holding the plate on.

I accept that he has not put any descriptive text on the auction, but the header states its a 66.

I asked him for the serial number - it checks out as being 1966-67. But it's on the neck plate, shouldn't it be on the headstock? Isn't the big F on the neckplate a 70s innovation? Should the neck have a skunk stripe?

If we're convinced that this is a fake - and he virtually admits it - we should maybe politely suggest he alter the description. Recent experience shows that Evilbay don't give a fjork.

On the other hand, anyone who still believes it pukka after reading his answers probably deserves it. I think if it goes for real money I'll tip the winner off.

For a 1966 Fender bass the serial number would be stamped on an 'F' neck plate ('F' neck plates were used from late 1965 onwards). The serial number is correct for that year - but it's very easy to get hold of an 'F' neck plate copy with a serial number added (it may even be an original neck plate). The serial numbers weren't put on the headstocks until around ten years later in 1976. The neck on a 1966 Precision wouldn't have had a skunk stripe....

But no - it most certainly isn't a genuine 1966 Precision... it's just a junk copy with a decal & a F neck plate added.

Haha, I was just thinking. What sort of crazy person would ask for a tab on such a crap solo!
