Fretless Fender Mystery

[owen_87]

I was sent this bass via Whatsapp that was for sale at a local car boot sale this morning. If this is yours then please do let me know as I am curious!

 

So the question is.....any ideas on what it would be? Apparently it was being described as a Jaco signature but, well, I always hand him down as a sunburst Jazz type....

A Tony Franklin like Precision Bass would be a better description.

 

It has what looks like an ebony fingerboard with a brass nut on what also looks to be a 70's Fender P-Bass neck, with a Jazz Bass pickup under the bridge cover and the output jack located on the side as the hole is now certainly occupied by the tone control.

 

If it's an original Fender 70's Precision Bass neck, the fingerboard has been changed as it was either rosewood or varnished maple.

I think it’s possibly a Squier standard series body in charcoal frost metallic.

 

The neck isn’t original fender I don’t think, maybe a mightymite with a decal.

 

if it’s any less than £200 probably a very serviceable bass.
