whizzzy Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Can anyone help with identifying what this neck has been taken from? I bought this a few months ago from another BC'er being advertised as Precision neck however when i came to fit it to a bitsa Precision I am making up I realised that it is a 22 fret rather than the conventional 20 fret version. As a result the intonation is way out. The headstock is narrower than normal as well. It has a Mex serial number MN66xxxx. Basically the neck is of no use to me for the reason stated above and I don't want to get involved in repositioning the bridge or more dramatic woodwork. Thus would like to re-advertise it but would like to be able to accurately describe what the neck came off. Any guidance will be most appreciated.

whizzzy Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks for that guys. Well you live and learn as I must confess I've never heard of a Cowpoke Precision before but it certainly seems to tick all of the boxes in respect of the neck. I can't think that calling a bass a 'Cowpoke' Precision would have been one of Fender's smartest marketing decisions though or maybe something was lost in the American to British translation.
