molan Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hi Chris, When you say 1978 / 1980 does that mean it was made somewhere between these years or something like it's a '78 body with an '80 neck? Also - do you know roughly how much it weighs and which of the various P bass neck profiles and nut widths it has? My old '76 had a really chunky neck and weighed a ton but I think Fenders from around this era varied quite a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe them to be original to the bass. From what I have read this is fairly comman with instruments made in this era as Fender were using up parts that had been in stock for a while. On a Calibrated set of scales the Bass weighs 4.476 Kg which is 9.867 Lbs. [attachment=50715:4a.jpg] I will get back to you with nut width etc as i will have to take some measurements. Kind regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Horton Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hi Molan, I'm not sure how to identify what type of neck profile the bass has . Does the neck code in this picture give the correct info ? [attachment=50775:14.JPG] I will post measurements of the nut on saturday.
