[Noisyjon]

Nice looker but do you think it's the real McCoy?

I am NOT a Fender expert, but description & photos both say 1972 bass with the wrong neckplate to me.

Nice restoration judging by the (not awfully good) photos, and even with the non-original bits that should still go for about a grand IMO.

Tend to agree with you HJ. However, IF the seller went to the trouble of having the bass 'professionally' restored, it may be that the seller is hoping to get good 60's money for it. Time will tell if the reserve is hit.

not really professionally repaired considering you can see the rout plugs through the finish...not very professional at all! More than likely that is this is a total bitza built from odd parts from ebay.Though could be a nice players bass if it goes for under a grand
