Can anyone identify this Fender P/J?

#2
It's a legit Fender, and due to the elongated upper horn, it's often referred to as a Boner Bass. The lower horn is also shorter to allow access to the 22 fret neck.

There's a club here for them if you do a search. QC was dodgy when these came out, but a lot of people like those bridges as they have string mutes attached. I would try talking him down to $475 or something, but if it's in good shape, it's worth $500ish.

They're not collector pieces or anything, but like the Cowpoke or Power Jazz, they represent a special model that only ran for a couple of years, and some people like that about them.

Thank you very much. I thought the body was peculiar. Do you know if the neck had a P width nut or smaller nut like a Jazz?

Looks like it was the 1.625" P sized nut.

I was wrong about the string mutes... seems those are fine tuner dials on the bridge, and it originally had Lace Sensor pickups. It was apparently the very first model produced in the Corona plant, as well.
