Just let it flow. Isn't too smooth ? Is it the baritone model ? I'm afraid it's not, as you could harm it with your dreadlocks. I do think so. These are half flat round wrapped in an invisible coat of non sense. Somewhere between a P-Bass. There is a float bag coming with it.

And fretted too thanks to the lever on the right on the second picture. Feather light.

There goes the beauty, made by nobody, like new : no string bass. Plays like a dream, invisible touch. Look at the pictures below.

On hold until early June...

Quite strange that it's still here : the early 90's are the best years for EB MusicMan fivers. And this one really sings...

A photo could help a lot. 😉 What are the values of the pots (in Ohms) ?

I wrote a mémoire about the subject, Fender started to use the 3 bolts neck on Jazz Basses by late 72, but you can find 4 bolts neck Jazz Basses until 75... Ask Marcus Miller.

3 bolts necks were introduced in 1971, but they only appeared on the Jazz Bass by late 1972 and were never fitted on the Precision Bass. The longer G string intonation screw is period correct. And this is a 1974 one. Nice one that said.👍 GLWYS.

Living on the fast lane. 😉

Will trade it for a 7 strings bass with 16.5/9 mm strings spacing and 34" scale (this is the best match for me). Fretless unlined would be perfect, but lined or fretted could be ok. 😉 Don't hesitate to hit me with your proposals...

Withdrawal !

On hold ! 😊
