Is it me?

I'm no expert on such things, this looks very nice but a tad iffy to me? Thoughts?

It's being sold as original 70's but appears to have a Badass fitted and certainly different pickups to mine? I also thought the serial number on 70's was on the front of the headstock? Mine's a later '78 and that does?

Those are not J-bass p/ups and yet he says it's all original.

Decal is right, the S/N didnt appear on the headstock until late '76.

Regarding the switched parts, he does say in the title [color=#333333][font=Trebuchet,]"Orig pu's/bridge/guard will be returned".[/font][/color]

The only thing iffy is the price!, asking around double the real value.

Is the truss rod the right way around for a 70s bass? Mine is at the headstock end, although its a little later than 72. Not sure when they changed this...

I assume yours is a bullet truss rod version, which would be right for a letr 70's model. This ones fine.
If yours has a regular truss rod adjuster at the headstock, then it aint right.

yep its a bullet, 75 neck.
