    What's this headstock

    Was poking around my area to see what people got for sale and came across this sweet little bass, but i didn't recognize the headstock, it appears to be fender, but it's not. Maybe something custom?

    Yeah, totally custom. Most likely whoever made the neck wanted it to be as close to a Fender neck as possible, but I've never seen one quite like that. And I certainly don't remember seeing a maple board with black binding AND black dot inlays. Sweet looking bass, though. You gonna check it out?

    Those are replacement necks that are on e-bay from time to time. I remember them because of the "pistol grip" notches on the bottom of the peghead. Looks like a cool bass though.

    I second this.
    I watch ebay and have seen necks like that for sale as "canadian maple". However, I have also seen no name basses from China in these bright vintage colors and headstock shape for sale, if memory serves me. I would question if this is MIJ, because why would you put a generic neck on an MIJ? Also, something about the body shape or pickguard just looks "off" to me. Being CL it could be checked out in person maybe?

    Always wise to use the "for now" qualifier:thumbsup:
