oldslapper Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Logo for starters. Tuners..wrong. I won’t be using my barge-pole. 😂 Quote
Velarian Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 The serial number is within 5k of my 70s precision and it looks nothing like mine, the logo has no border round the letters. The neck/headstock has no age to it at all and the truss rod adjustment should be at the heel of the neck. Quote
Hellzero Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Ebony fingerboard in 1977 (and up to 1980 with these serial numbers) didn't exist. The logo was under the lacquer, not over it in the 70's and after. Wrong headstock size. Wrong tuners. Skunk stripe on a non maple board ?!? Fender Corona California in the 70's. 🤣 ... Run away !

Hellzero Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Sorry, this is not a Fender job at all. 😉 Quote
Hellzero Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) The first Fender with an ebony fretless fingerboard is the Tony Franklin model, so 2 decades later (introduced in 2006). 😉 Edited September 5, 2021 by Hellzero Details added Quote
andy67 Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) You need to look at all the items for sale from that person! Staggering and very fraudulent if any sell under those claims. Edited September 15, 2021 by andy67 Quote

Staggering and very fraudulent if any sell under those claims. The two other ''fender basses' look suspect to my eye. Decals and tuners all over the place https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224598165740?hash=item344b1808ec:g:OHUAAOSwte5hNKtG https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324778307017?hash=item4b9e4badc9:g:uSAAAOSw5u1hNMed 1 Quote
Velarian Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 Dodgy tuner placement - now where have I seen that before? 🤔 1 Quote
