I'm a little confused about CITES. This was a massive pain around 2017 when I imported a guitar from Japan. It's not an experience I want to go through again...

I'm importing a bass from outside of the UK, to the UK. Specifically I'm looking to import a Hofner 500/1. Is this something I would still need to provide documentation for or can I  just import without worrying? The instrument isn't vintage.

Anyone with recent experience, or knowledge? Cheers!

Is this a 1.75" nut? Thanks!

Fender Japan Precision P Bass 3TS Body + Black Pickguard.

This came from a 2011 Japan FSR 70s P bass. The one with the black blocks on maple necks. This is genuine Fender made - not aftermarket.

Please note pickups and bridge NOT included. You will ONLY receive the wooden body and the black pickguard.

Generally very good condition. very light wear that can be buffed out. I can see 1 tiny surface ding to the left of the pickup area.  The sides of the neck pocket were sprayed black nitro - it's a clean job as you can see.

£150 posted within the UK. Islands + highlands expect to pay more. No trades please.

Sold!

This is a steal. Come on guys!

Hi Lewis,

After a sale only as I'm in need of the money.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking of a little veneer should do the trick.

Have just measured, new neck appears to be 1-2mm thinner.

As per title should these fit no problem?

I have a 2011 MIJ P bass which has a really tight neck pocket with it's stock P bass neck. I've bought an Allparts Jazz neck with rosewood blocks+binding but theres now 1-2mm pocket gap both sides. I was under the impression these should be the same at the heel.

I don't really want to start messing with the neck as it would void the return policy. It doesn't have the plate holes drilled.  I don't mind selling the body on and buying an allparts body if that means it'll fit better. I've shot them an email but would also like some advice from the forums.

Thanks!

Here is the model these parts are from.

SOLD

I'm 100% going to regret this but I have some bills to pay...

Fender mustang bass dated 1973/1974.

This has been professionally refinished in firemist gold, custom mint green pick guard copy of the original perloid which is included.

Fingerboard side edges slightly rolled, bone nut installedd by a professional.

All electrics and wiring are original except I think a single wire was replaced. All Original hardware. Has been shielded under the gold paint.

Darkened rosewood fingerboard.

Weight 8.1lbs

P bass width neck but obviously short scale.

Strung with daddario flat mustang strings (maybe 45s).

Super tight snug neck pocket which is something barely seen in these years. As pictured a single sheet of paper can't slide in any side or back of the neck to body heel.

No extra  holes or routes under the hood. Some dings on the back of the neck as with most vintage from this era.

Includes some random unbranded hardshell case and a new pack of round wound d'addario exl170s strings.

UK only - sent insured postage against loss + damage. NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE.

No offers as this is probably the nicest vintage mustang you'll see in a long time and it's completely unique.

EICH T500 Classic (includes enclosure) in black brand new in packaging. Postage at additional cost. UK Birmingham based.

JUST TO CONFIRM THIS ISNT A HEADSTOCK BREAK - ITS A TINY PIECE OF WOOD NEXT TO THE NUT ON THE TOP WHERE ITS SANDED - HAS BEEN GLUED BACK SEAMLESSLY.

Selling a mij Fender 70s precision bass neck which needs some minor tlc.

I bought this as is intending on using for a project but I've decided to go rosewood instead. Specs I believe are 7.25" radius 1.625" nut with vintage frets and a shallow profile.

Straight and truss works. Frets barely used. Mild flame front back. Can only find one tiny surface ding in the heel where the neck meets the body.

The end next to the nut snapped off with a very clean break which has been glued back and sanded down smooth. You honestly cant even see the break even up close. The hairline in the side of the black binding is slightly visible up very close but I expect it won't be visible with laqeur over it. The area around will need some stain to match the grain I imagine. I'm not sure I can even capture it on my camera.

Again this was a super clean break and everything lined up to a fraction. The sanding to the wood is only on the front head of the neck.

I'm going to throw in the genuine Fender Bridge, 70s japan pickups and wiring (untested but I have zero reason to think they won't work).

UK only 200 posted.

Is this still for sale?
