Apart from the re finish, it looks in good nick. I presume its all original too!

Price Maybe slightly high for a refinish.

[Ghost Rider]

The Sellers feedback is not so great.

Difficult to tell from the pictures, but I'm not convinced the pots are original. Although to be fair, he has posted pictures of them, so I doubt he's trying to hide anything.

In any event, looks a decent buy at under £1k

It's odd that the colour under the pickguard is so different to the rest of the body and the headstock. I know wood coloured ones are more prone to this - but it seems very stark in this case.

I suspect that's down to the refin. It almost looks as though its not be refinished under the pickguard?

The front of the headstock looks very dark too, compared to the rest of the neck

Thanks lads, very tempted and it's only 20 miles away.
Going to have a think, but if it goes, well, no prob.
Reality is there is a rather rare Warwick on here that I have my eye on. The last one very similar went on FEEBay for £475. I would go to £600, but he is wanting quite a bit mpore than that and I ain't gonna lowball him.
Decisions decisions

Not sure why it's been stained around the guard, and then the same stain used for the front only of the headstock, looks a bit orangy for my taste. Because the face of the headstock has been done, it will be difficult to change the refin to one of your own choice, kinda stuck with that really!
I also think it's a little pricey for what it is. I'm sure it plays well, even if it looks a bit odd.

That's not unusual on a Fender bass of that age if mine are anything to go by.

Bollocks, it only went for £800
