now I can understand people who collect guitars. and players who enjoy having vintage instruments.
And I can understand people who buy various old parts and put together their own 'vintage' bass.
And I can understand why folk would pay a lot for old parts.

But for a wrecked old fender neck? I mean it's not going to be too 'collectable' and as a player for that sort of money I could get a brand new custom build or at the moment, in these sale forums pretty much anything I wanted!

why on earth would anyone have sanded a neck like that?

It looks to me like it has been set on fire and someone has attempted to remove the charred bit.

I thought the burn marks were from an orbital sander.

I'm fairly sure a sander wouldn't burn around corners... unless you meant it to. Besides if it was, you'd just remove it - friction burns don't go deep.

I've bought from that seller before.... twice!

My parts were a great deal cheaper & in much better shape. Go figure!?

I wonder where he gets his stock from. People pay a premium on these items because they are supposed to be rare... he doesn't seem to have a problem finding them at all - presumably he has that much vintage gear for sale 365 days a year.

Yep, I had to go back and re-read that after I saw the pics

[Rick's Fine '52]

And I thought this was a sadly mutilated neck!!

Actually, this is a shame, because its otherwise a lovely neck, flush truss rod, nice decal, frets and board, and then.......oh dear.

Its just a case of finding it first. Stuff might be rare individually, but there are quite a lot of things that are rare.

Looks more like fire damage to me.

I wouldn't give the p**** two bob for that.

[vax2002]

Somebody's it at with decals and yacht varnish again

[paul_5]

Looks like [i]vintage[/i] yacht varnish though...

[Rick's Fine '52]

I think its the same varnish Jaco used.......

[The Bass Doc]

(Possible theory?) Owner deliberately created the indentation as anchoring point for his thumb?

(Also possible BLX)

[Happy Jack]

No Howard, I think you're right.

Plenty of bass players never progress beyond playing every song in G ...

[The Bass Doc]

If it could be established the guy played country and western I think we're on to something here.
