He says " the heads pulled forward "

Looks like a crack in the neck to me!

I think it's an original '75...

That neck is trucked.. the skunk stripe doesn't look happy at the headstock end either.

As in rhymes with 'cattle trucked'!

"notice the head has also pulled forward after leaving it for years under tension"

So have I been doing it all wrong these last 30+ years?

[ian]

just wonderd because it sais something in small on the head stock aswell as the fender jazz .and im sure my freind had a 70s jazz also but said something about the body on headstock ?

[The Bass Doc]

The 'small' bit says "offset contour body patented".

He`s no kidding about the laminate crack in the neck. But what bit of the neck is laminated? Does he mean laquer? What is he on about? It looks like it has cracked across and caused the head to bend due to the tension. He`s good at putting the strings on as well, nice and even.

Go on, someone e mail him about the bend and report back asap.

Anyway, a right steal at the price. I`ll be watching this one, guffaww, guffaww.
