The serial number dates the neck plate at 1960-61 and the neck, if original is 87-91 when they changed to the 6 bolt neck. The pickups will be 1990ish to 95

It's certainly interesting

Just read up on the little switches on the pickups. Interesting idea...

The problem may be that an MM neck, a (possibly) 60's Fender body that's been extensively screwed around with and a set of interesting pickups do not necessarily a good bass make. But they might! Not sure I'm willing to surrender a few hundred notes to find out, though. I suspect it might be tricky to sell on...

Well, the neck plate's on a wonk.

As Frankensteins go, I like that a lot. Mostly from an aesthetic perspective, never mind the provenance of the bits.

[alyctes]

It does look surprisingly pretty.

From some angles, that body finish looks like it was done with a wallpaper brush. Could be a trick of the light.

I wouldn't exactly call this a customised Stingray either.

The neck is late 87 (that style of headstock logo introduced then) to early/mid 89 when the bullet truss rod bolt was replaced with the capstan at the body end. The neck is gorgeous.
