"As i have previously sed,"

Bad English usually means bad bass.

If you had a1974 P-bass would you take the risk of saying you didn't know and get £200 for it or would you get it checked out?

Too good to be true?

Yes.

That neck looks pristine for a 36 year old instrument.

[OldGit]

"plate number" would be one from 1960, according to guitar dater ..

Avoid..

Looks like it could be some sort of Fendery kinda thing (more than likely a MIM) and well worth £250, as for it being a 1974.......

We can all agree that is unlikely.

Well that's his backside well and truly covered when it turns out to NOT be a 1974!

The nail in the coffin is that he can't/won't supply any more/better pics and I assume someone has asked him for any info that might be visible when the neck is removed...

could be wrong but didn't know badass bridges were around in the 70's &would you really put one on a 70's bass or keep it vintage?

Badass have been making bridges since the early 70s, and they were a common retrofit on Rickenbackers, then P-Basses, then it peaked in the early 80s.
