I recently bought a bass with both fretless and fretted necks (see Gear Porn and look for '71 Fender P/J for what became of it). The fretted neck was taken from an American Vintage 1962 Jazz Reissue (inc tuners) and appears to be dated Sep 2001 on the sticker on the back of the heel. Aged nicely and only missing the little metal cup on the rear of the headstock that allows you to hang these up. £200 plus postage please.

It is fabulous and it was only the rather emotional desire for a YOB Precision that motivated me to put it up FS. I will find another way to pay for the 63 Precision should a nice example come my way.

I think I have chosen the wrong time to sell this bass so I am withdrawing from sale and will re-consider when the market is a bit more active

Daily bump. I know this is a pricey bass and money is scarce so I would be prepared to listen to payment options (upfront plus payments over say three months) from BC'ers that I either know well or who have an excellent reputation/feedback

I am the son of the former justice minister of a small African Republic which must remain nameless. My father and family were all killed by a trained rhinoceros in the pay of the cruel dictator of our Republic. With my father's last words he gave me the details of a bank account into which he had deposited ONE MILLION DOLLARS with instructions that I should only share this money with a person of the highest caps lock. I will send you half of the ONE MILLION DOLLARS if you send me the caps lock key to Post Box 5457, Nigeria together with your bank account number, sort code and PIN number.

Do not let the Dictator and his rhino emerge with victory.

Please note that - as there are a bunch of BassChatters in Brussels and Paris - I will be staying over in each of those cities in the next few weeks so could deliver the bass. I will be in Brussels next Tuesday evening and in Paris on evening of 7 April.

Bump for some additional pics posted last night ^^^^

Discovered some more photos of the bass taken by the prior US owner from his Talkbass FS thread. The condition today is as immaculate as you see here: [attachment=73722:AC4_004.jpg][attachment=73720:AC4_001.jpg]

Early morning bump from freezing Helsinki where I cannot face smoked fish for breakfast

Tuesday bump, adding that would trade against a sunburst 63 Precision as well as oly white. Off to the lands of pickled herrings and smorgasbord, yay! So, as mentioned in OP, I may not pick up PMs in an especially timely manner in next couple of days

Thanks Andy and Loz. It is the best bass I have ever owned so it seems perverse selling it, but I have a weird psychological calling to a year-of-birth Fender ... and I am of a certain age that means that would be a pre-CBS (and thus pricey) option!

Blimey, old thread resuscitation award! These were sold in June 2009
