Sighting on this Jazz neck

Sign in to disble this ad
I am about to purchase a Fender Jazz from a neighbouring country. I know it is risky to buy without trying it and my main concern is the neck's condition. This a pic of it but I am not able to determine if it is twisted or warped. I hope to get some help from you guys...Thanks in advance.

That angle is a little tough to tell, but it looks ok to me!

looks ok to me too, nice low action according to that angle. But he may be tricking you by slacking the strings. but it does not appear to be warped or twisted

He did not alter the condition of the bass. I guess it is alright then..

Ask him for a pic of the bass like that but sideways so you can see down the side dots. That'll give you a good idea of the neck angle.

Actually looks twisted to me. By like one degree. Counterclockwise from the body to the head. Probably an optical illusion due to the odd angle the picture was taken in.
