**Now Sold through BC. Thanks** This neck came off a 50's roadworn P Bass. I've had it on a project bass for over 2 years. One piece maple neck with a 1.75" nut. A section of the nut did crack as I was stringing this with heavy gauge La Bella strings. I glued it at the time (over 2 years ago) and there's never been an issue since. Everyone raves about these necks, and they really are fantastic. An impulse buy of a 1982 JV Precision forces the sale of this and many other items of my bass gear. The photos below seem to be quite bright. For example, while the back of the neck is worn (as these are) there's nowhere near as vast a contrast between the different sections. The neck, mainly the headstock,has gained a few more dings over the last few years. There's nothing that affects playability though. I foolishly and rather shoddily removed the serial number on the back of the headstock as I had planned to add a strap button. I only later realised that strap buttons weren't actually period correct for a 1957 style bass!! Act in haste, repent at leisure! This really is a reluctant sale, so depending on what other items I sell, this may well be withdrawn to await the next project. I just hope the JV is worth it in the long run! Any questions, please ask.

Body from a Made in USA Fender Precision Highway One Bass. The wood is Alder and weighs approx. 4lbs. These came with a nitro finish, and this one is in matte black. This is more than a little 'roadworn'. This effect largely came from simply rubbing cellulose thinner on the nitro finish (no sanding was involved!). Although there are many others dings and knocks, which I've tried to capture in the photos. Luckily the majority of messing around was done on the back. Might be of interest to someone who wants to completely remove the black finish or who is ok with it the way it is. As shown in the photo with the pickguard (which is not included, but for sale separately), it looks a lot better when the screw holes are in use. Any questions, please ask!

They're the Fender manufactured ones (or at least they came in Fender packaging) and they won't sit flush unless the small extra holes are bored. These are the ones that come on American Vintage basses.

[quote name='Rowley Birkin QC' timestamp='1386331655' post='2298826'] Hi Paddy, Can you tell me how old the pickups are and where they originated, might be interested in these. Cheers Rowley [/quote] Hi, I bought them brand new, in about April of 2012 IIRC. They are the ones that are now branded as 'Original' pickups. They were previosuly called the 'Original 62' pickups. Cheers, Paddy

For sale are a set of Fender Precision 62 Reissue Pickups that are fully wired as per the correct 1962 spec. These are priced much cheaper than the sum of their parts. Included are the pickups, brass plate, cloth wiring, CTS pots, switchcraft jack and repro ceramic capacitor. These are mroe period correct than the those found in the stock '62 AVRI. The wiring was done for me by KiOgan. Ready to plug and play! any questions, just ask.

Withdrawn - gone to ebay auction.

Worth noting that this appears to be a '62 Reissue MIJ, and a lovely one at that. Have a bump!
