Cat Burrito Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 As is so often the case, this is a recent acquisition for me that is staying within the Basschat family. Fluffo had this for sale. I love Jazz basses, I love beat up mojo instruments and I struggle with the thin Jazz necks, preferring a Precision profile. So this ticked all the boxes for me & I struggle to think of another Basschat member who this would have been screaming out to have been bought by. It's an Ebony 1976 Fender Precision Fretless neck that has since been fretted (good job too!), old 70s cream Dimarzio pickups and an old 70s body (almost certainly not proper Fender & more likely some old Japcrap). I added the heavy flats and pickup covers to give it my own stamp. Enjoy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbayne Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I think that is a 1977 neck you got there, IRC they changed the lettering in early 77 from the heavier font used previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
