Do the '50s Classic and Road Worn '50s have tinted necks like the AVRI's?

Are you positive about that? Maybe it was a case of different years/basses/etc, but my 57' AVRI's neck was noticeably thinner front to back than the SH I played.

Yes. It isn't the same paint, but it is approximately the same color.

Positive? No. Reasonably certain? I would have said so until I read this... I've played them both, but not back to back. They all spec out the same, and between that and my "test drive," I really thought they were the same.

No, the recent model MIJ Steve Harris basses have a massive neck. They're also really heavy. Most positively bigher than any other P bass neck. It's super huge front to back. No question. The older ones didn't have such a big neck, but the late model ones have a massive neck.

Owning both a 50's Classic and 62RI P simultaneously, (most recent 57 and 62 RI's sported the same neck aside from the fingerboards) I can state that they were not the same. The 57 and 62 were thinner front to back. The Classic was thicker, but not as thick as the 51RI for example.

Then by god it's a Fender P-bass! Here's a pic of her pre-surgery (before I replace the warped neck). I call her Dash. Yes, I'm a brony. Deal with it.

What's a brony?

SGguy · #**992** 01-28-2013, 11:56 PM

A fan of My Little Pony; Friendship is Magic. Before someone chimes in flaming bronies, not all of us are the shut-ins, furries, or internet creeps. There are plenty of us who are "normal" people.

Clearly a Squier, NOT a Fender. There is a Squier club.

Squier. Not Fender.

My late friends widow has his Precision that he bought 1962/3.
It was res-prayed white on arrival in the UK as they usually arrived here in just one colour.

Any ideas of the value as I want to make sure that she doesn't get ripped off, I know one dealer has been sniffing round but was sent packing and she's looking to me to make sure she gets the right deal (I will not be looking to profit out of this).

No judgement here. I like video games, though I'm not what anyone would call a geek.

Yes, yes, yes, it's a Squier, but this pic was taken with the old squier neck on. It's getting a MIM Fender Pbass neck. The pickguard is for Fenders and it has Fender pickups in it.

It's a frankenbass bass; not a REAL Fender Precision Bass.

Exactly.
