Looks like a refinish, and a none original scratch plate, but apart from that, loks good.

Cheers Yorick.
Yup, my thoughts as well.
Would have liked some better photos, may persue that in a while.

It finished with no bids.
Am I missing something?

It's potentially a 'bitsa' bass in a nasty colour... I'd not chance £700 just as you didn't.

Cheers warwickhunt, just didn't feel right.

I contacted him after it ended, he said it was a refin, the scratchplate was a custom job but everything else was original, he said it weighed 5kgs - I'd say about right for a 70s P. Shame he didn't include this in the ad as I think it put many of us off! Sounded a decent enough chap he said he would accept the start price if interested....going to give it a miss as I already have a 70s P bass.

Disgusting colour. Is it an attempt at Bahama Green?

[LemonCello]

Yeah that is a vile colour and it detracts from what would have been a nice bass.

Personally I would never buy a late 70s Fender anything unless I had a go at it first. I've too many memories of dreadful Fenders of that period.
