FS/ FT Fender 1968 Precision Bass neck - B Width with original tuners - *WITHDRAWN* £5495 Chessington

[d_g]

After a bit of a change of heart - I've decided to keep this precision body and just swap out the neck. 

 

Ignore price above - I'm looking for around £1650 including tuners

 

I'd consider trades for jazz bass necks - preferably rosewood with blocks and binding but open to other options. Must be 7.25" radius and preferably 70s U shape type.

 

Open to offers and would also consider a sale with or without the tuners.

 

 

Detailed photos at the bottom of this post.

- This is a rarer ‘B Profile’ neck stamped October 1968. 
- In good condition for its age. 
- Truss rod is a little stiff but works. Beautiful nitro checking on the headstock. Lovely dark rosewood fretboard, there are a couple of dents in the top side (see pic) but none effect playability. 
- The tuners are original ‘Fender’ stamped.
- Non-original brass nut.
- Hootenanny button on back of headstock.

 

If I’ve missed anything give me a shout. I want the buyer to be happy so would much prefer you to inspect in person (in Chessington, Surrey or central London) before buying but also happy to ship.

 

Thanks

 

Dan

I'm sorry to have to show my ignorance, but what is the purpose of the "Hootenanny button" on the back of the headstock?  Looks like a strap button!?

 

Not that you'll need it with this gem, but GLWTS!

The neck plate S/N dates to 1963. I also had the bass gallery look over it and they agreed with the year. Cheers, Dan

I can’t buy this and I wouldn’t be able to do it justice anyway, just wanted to say it’s stunning - GLWS. 

[CJPJ]

Beautiful bass and I wish I could do it justice. Dan is a top chap you can trust. GLWTS!

Had quite a few trade offers but straight sale preferred so price dropped to £4995

Big price drop to fund a purchase bump
