Remember, it may be a 62 neck, doesn't mean the body is the same vintage! 👍

Too true......

There’s some paint inside the pickup cavity 🤔

Yes...... good spot......

The neck pocket should have a hanger mark too, although there’s not much photo to look at....

I think it’s refinished anyway.....

Look away.....!

Step away from eBay..,!

Stepping away from eBay.....!

Hello guys and gals......

What do you reckon to this.....?
 

I can’t work out what’d happened to the neck where it’s been in the pocket?

Wow!!!  That looks new.

If you went to try a new car and all of the cars had flat tyres and no petrol would you buy from them? A baseline setup can be done pretty quickly - other than the neck moving what else cannot be done by the factory and be ready to play? It’s not like they’re selling millions of them. Each instrument should have a final inspection including setup to known specs. Assuming the neck hasn’t moved (and a quick tweak of the truss rod can fix that), all new basses should be ready to play out of the box.

I’m so glad I stumbled on this.

I went to a vintage instrument place in Cheltenham and they didn’t even have a bass amp.  The basses all need setting up too.  Some of them were terrible - strings at different heights, alsorts...... I was really surprised.

I should’ve took out a screwdriver and adjusted them myself......!!!

To make it worse, matey just sat there opposite, watching me.   That grips me, I’ll tell you.  Give a bloke 5 minutes peace with an instrument.

I wish they had a few private rooms in Bass Direct actually.  I love it up there but it’s tight.

Pictures pictures pictures......!!!

Really nice.....   

Oh baby baby.........!!!

Ooooooh............!

Nice...z!

Featherweight funk machine.....
