Delberthot Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) The serial number dates the neck plate at 1960-61 and the neck, if original is 87-91 when they changed to the 6 bolt neck. The pickups will be 1990ish to 95 It's certainly interesting Edited May 6, 2018 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Just read up on the little switches on the pickups. Interesting idea... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 The problem may be that an MM neck, a (possibly) 60's Fender body that's been extensively screwed around with and a set of interesting pickups do not necessarily a good bass make. But they might! Not sure I'm willing to surrender a few hundred notes to find out, though. I suspect it might be tricky to sell on...

prowla Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Well, the neck plate's on a wonk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 As Frankensteins go, I like that a lot. Mostly from an aesthetic perspective, never mind the provenance of the bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 It does look surprisingly pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 From some angles, that body finish looks like it was done with a wallpaper brush. Could be a trick of the light. I wouldn't exactly call this a customised Stingray either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neck is gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
