I wouldn’t call it a 62; more like a 57- Heinz.

If a potential buyer has the required £4500 and likes how it plays/sounds/looks, then why not? Mark & Co at Bass Direct have obviously done their due diligence, so it's up to the potential buyer. Not my cup of tea at that money, but then again, I would never buy a vintage Fender. I like the newer, more reliable ones. 😁

I have a 1972 bass with 68 electrics. Is it a 68 with a replacement body/neck or a 72 with 68 electrics?

If it has to be labelled as one, then I'd say it should be labelled as the one where the parts of the bass are in the majority. So, a 72 for yours. 

 

Or... just label it fairly! This Bass Direct bass should be titled as 'Fender bista bass with unknown body, 62 neck with new fretboard and some original 62 parts'.

Which is how I describe it, it has to be said.
