I'm thinking $1200 if I could get it.
I have had this bass since I was a in my early twenties. My dad bought it for me as I was going to start a band. I think it is a '75 as I look at the serial number. I really regret selling this, but I think it wouldn't mind a new home. Back in the day I took off all the fancy white paint and carved a rose into the body. Some kind of possession of mine I guess. Also traded out the fender pickups for some hot new thing. Put on a Bass Ass bridge. You probably know the pickup better than I do. At any rate the neck is a beauty. Just had the whole thing gone through cleaning and rewiring the pickups and whatnot. Pretty new strings, although you got your own ideas on that. I have just a cloth fender case for it. Never did get a fancy case for it. Back in the day.

Those 4 hole pics of the neck look original, the extra hole is for the "micro-adjust neck pat. 3550946" screw I assume. It also has the big 70's style letters they used until they switched to the smaller ones in mid '75 as on the reissue models.
Cool axe! |

The pickguard screw pattern is earlier, and the finger rest holes are below the G string. Looks like late '73 to me. |

Like I said earlier, I did have a precision fretless that I traded necks on the precision for a bit. Maybe I got the wrong damn plate back on it. This was in my "early mind bending age". Pre-DISCO!. God! |

When CBS took over there were a lot of old 60s neck plates and hardware still kicking around in the Fender Factory including some 60s necks. It was pot luck if you got a 3 or 4 bolt neck, if you were really lucky you got an early 70s or late 60s neck as well.
Info as told to me in the early 80s by Fender.
