For sale or maybe an interesting trade-
A '72 P bass fretless neck (loaded) that has a few minor aesthetic issues. Plays great, but I am just not a fretless guru, so off it goes.
Here is some additional info from original sale thread
(However, it now has correct Fender tuners mounted.)
1972 Fender Fretless P neck. One piece (other then the skunk stripe) so the fingerboard is unlined maple. It is a very cool neck, but it has some issues.
The good:
1) Actual 1972 Fender P fretless neck.
2) End of heel is stamped "5 JUN 72 B"
3) High gloss, one piece, with no fake fret lines
4) Because of #3, side dots are where they are supposed to be for a fretless neck.
5) Fingerboard shows some wear, but not too much.
6) Truss rod works fine.
7) Unoriginal but Vintage non-the-less, Fender tuners from an early '80s fender p-bass that line up with the correct mounting holes.
The bad:
1) A few scuffs (chips in finish) on fingerboard. (3 little ones on fingerboard around 7th - 9th position...see photos)
2) A large and a small scuff (chips in finish) where the wood is bare on back of neck...around 13th - 15th position (see photos)
3) Has extra tuner mounting holes - Mostly covered by Fender tuners with correct screw hole placement.
4) Scuff through to wood between E and A tuners on front of headstock -see photos
5) Cigarette burn on front of headstock near E tuner -see photo.
6) Extra string tree hole on face of headstock - (Covered by string retainer when mounted in correct location).
7) Hairline crack from end of headstock through G tuner. This has been improperly repaired (from a luthier's standpoint) by putting three screws in the top edge of the headstock. It seems structurally very solid, but is an aesthetic mess. I think a luthier would take the screws out, make sure the crack was glued good, and refill the holes with maple dowels.
$300 Loaded with the Fender tuners, $275 loaded with Wilkinson tuners OR $250 no tuners (I will include ferrules). Shipped CONUS
Note: The tuners in the photos are NOT the Fender tuners that are included.
