Beedster Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Hi folks I've now sorted my fretless needs (http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54801&st=20), which means I have two '70s Fender fretless necks to go. There's a few other things listed also: I'll post pics tomorrow. All prices are delivered to UK. All prices reflect either age, originality or both, and either way are lower than they'd be on eBay. Comments are of course welcome, but be prepared for a robust defence! Trade wise I'm open to offers but I'm especially after a tubey/valvey pedal/DI at present. WHYG? Pics below, I'll post better and individual pics later [attachment=44467:CIMG0620.JPG][attachment=44465:CIMG0576.JPG][attachment=44466:CIMG0577.JPG] [attachment=44464:CIMG0575.JPG][attachment=44463:CIMG0573.JPG][attachment=44460:CIMG0566.JPG] [attachment=44461:CIMG0572.JPG][attachment=44554:PIC_0036.jpg] -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1978 Precision fretless neck.

Moos3h Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I'd have the case if there's a way we could engineer a meetup? Do you head over hertfordshire way at all matey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The P one is unlined I think. I'm sure Chris will be along soon to clarify! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to say rare, but in the 70's they weren't especially so. However, having owned three such necks in the past I can say with some confidence that they're rarely in as good condition as this, Martin Simms did a great recon, it will have years of playing in it before it'll need any work, even with rounds.

Chris[/quote] Ah! That'll teach me not to read properly. Where I saw you say it was originally maple fretted on the jazz, I didn't realise you'd had the fingerboard replaced too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
