Hi, just added a list of the main parts of the guitar, it was 2 years ago so unfortunately i wont be able to tell you all the parts :/

Body and Neck are American yes, but most of the parts I sourced around the UK

And no aha!, Badass

This looks lovely.
Is that a real Fender neck? What size is it?

Hi, no its actually a custom made neck I bought over in America with a fender decal added.
So basically its a fender neck, not made by fender if that makes sense aha

In terms of size, its just the standard size of Precisions

Cheers.

Im not sure about this but i think you might get in to trouble selling this here, especially as you have listed the bass with the word Fender and its not.
I know your being up front but im not sure if its legal to sell a non fender neck with a Fender logo on it.

Im sure i read a long topic recently where someone was selling Fender logos to put on other basses and all hell was let loose.

Just a warning.

I personally would have no issue buying this if i could afford it. Good luck

ah, okay.. I must admit I wasn't aware of the legal mumbo jumbo, but as long as people do know this is a custom bass then there's not much I can do, unless I closed the topic, but then if I found it to be okay.. hmm, catch 22

[dave_bass5]

Yeah, leave it up until you get told otherwise.

Where were the hand-made pickups made? it helps to work out the worth of the instrument for a potential buyer...

Oh, you should have said. Loads of us have Wizard pups. I have a set of custom wound 74's in my HW-one Jazz.
They are based in Wales now though.

Very nice pups.

Dude change the title of the thread - it will give you a better chance at attracting the kind of people that want to buy this bass. I can see Fender fans clicking to view it and getting miffed that it's a bitsa, conversely there are folk out there who wouldn't touch a Fender with a bargepole because of their QC issues who would love a nice bitsa.
