wesfinn Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1964-Fender-Jazz-Bass-Neck-Vintage-Project-Refin-Repair-/110738381538?pt=Guitar&hash=item19c8859ae2#ht_500wt_922"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1964-Fender-Jazz...e2#ht_500wt_922[/url] Been through a hell of a lot this neck! still about £200 more than it should be! love the way the seller has worded it to sound like he doesn't know anything about it but really does. Should say 'butchered beyond belief, headstock is 90% original, truss rod probably doesn't work as someone has tried to drill it out, refretted very badly and probably isn;t the best sounding neck I;ve ever heard!'

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 [quote]Here we have an original Pre-CBS 1964 Fender Jazz Bass Neck.[/quote] Original? [quote]Looks like the headstock had some parts of it replaced.[/quote] No 'Looks like' about it - it has. Perhaps the logo part was sawn off to go onto a new neck which replaced this broken one.

Maybe it's my eyes but is the raduis of the fretboard not look a little off centre?[/quote] I noticed that. Also the skunk stripe looks a bit pist on the pic of the heel.
