d_g Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) After a bit of a change of heart - I've decided to keep this precision body and just swap out the neck. Ignore price above - I'm looking for around £1650 including tuners I'd consider trades for jazz bass necks - preferably rosewood with blocks and binding but open to other options. Must be 7.25" radius and preferably 70s U shape type. Open to offers and would also consider a sale with or without the tuners. Detailed photos at the bottom of this post. - This is a rarer ‘B Profile’ neck stamped October 1968. - In good condition for its age. - Truss rod is a little stiff but works. Beautiful nitro checking on the headstock. Lovely dark rosewood fretboard, there are a couple of dents in the top side (see pic) but none effect playability. - The tuners are original ‘Fender’ stamped. - Non-original brass nut. - Hootenanny button on back of headstock. If I’ve missed anything give me a shout. I want the buyer to be happy so would much prefer you to inspect in person (in Chessington, Surrey or central London) before buying but also happy to ship.

petecarlton Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I'm sorry to have to show my ignorance, but what is the purpose of the "Hootenanny button" on the back of the headstock? Looks like a strap button!? Not that you'll need it with this gem, but GLWTS! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had the bass gallery look over it and they agreed with the year. Cheers, Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
