Here’s an Olympic white bitsa that consists of a Fender USA body from the 90’s, Fender Jap 64 electrics, I was told  that have been in there since then. I got the body loaded on here a few years ago and the seller had it as a build lying in his wardrobe since the 90’s. The bound neck I bought separately and is maple with rosewood (I think). No name with a Fender logo. The tuners aren’t great but do work and hold tune. It’s in good condition with a few blemishes. There’s a few marks here and there but nothing horrendous. There has been another string retainer on it at some point as you can see in the photos and it looks like someone has managed to use a screw that was too long for one of the tuners at some point and it’s poked through the front of the headstock. Nothing major. It doesn’t look like a bullet hole or someone’s hacked their way through it with a butter knife or anything like that either. It’s a Jazz so it weighs about 9 1/2 lb I reckon but that’s only a guess.

That’s a mark actually in the wood on the back of the neck, not a gouge or a scratch etc.

It sounds great and plays nicely but does need a set up. The neck pickup seems to make an odd rustling noise now and again. I cleaned the pots and it improved immediately but hasn’t gone completely. I put it down to 25 years or so in a wardrobe. It needs some tlc and I can’t see me getting round to doing it either. I only use it as a backup to a Precision and so a P Bass would be more useful to me.
 

I may trade for a 22 b24 fret bass. Must have good intonation / action. It’s for tapping. Or, Olympic white Precision or Yamaha EAD10. Try me with anything musically related though. You never know.
 

Will post to mainland UK with the neck off as I have no case or collection from Blackburn Lancs.
