franzbassist Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm pretty sure blocks started the second half of 1966. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenshirt Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I thought that it was '68 as well. I must admit that all '67s I've seen have been dot and usually bound, with '68s being block. But knowing Fender anything was/is possible! Now I'm even more confused..... all I know for certain is my '69 has blocks Mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I think part of the confusion is down to an almost total lack of '67s. I can't remember seeing a block '66, but maybe they were introduced later in the year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Definately latish 66. I had a 66 with blocks. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve[/quote] Late to Mid 1966 for blocks. Which is why there are also 1966 Jazz basses with 'bound & dot' necks - from earlier in the year...
