Why these were branded as Squier is beyond me - they are so much better than most of the "true" Fender production at the time (and, some might argue, since).

Fender did that to avoid confusion with the (inferior..) American Fenders...

Does it have the 1.75 inch nut width? Or the 42 mm?

Lovely looking bass

 

What is the weight, neck date and serial number?

 

Could you post photos of the back of the bass and it’s interior with pickguard and neck off ?

A beautiful bass that looks like an incredibly faithful relic. 
 

Also, your flat/house looks exquisitely decorated and I’m very jealous.
