heres my two pre cbs basses. 62 slab board jazz and a 64 L series precision with a jazz neck. picked up the 62 jazz from a guy in canada back in 2000 or so from the gbase classifieds. bought the 64 from the second owner. an older guy in burbank. i probably overpaid for the p, but considering i cant play 1.75" p necks and the cost of piecing together something like this from parts on ebay, it was pretty fair. including the refins on both (dont worry they were both refin'd all read when i got them!) ive got about 5500 tied up in the pair. wouldnt trade them for any boutique or custom shop version out there.

I gotta ask if any of you know how to tell a real vintage neck plate? I bought a parts bass that has a really old fender neck on it. The body is japan made but the neck is some old US made neck.

Anyways this is the neck plate and it dates to 1962, however it could be like a reproduction maybe?

I have no idea how to tell if its a real 62 neckplate or not.

Real ones are also thinner than these repros. It looks like someone scrubbed it with steel wool to try to age it

Agreed thats what I noticed about it as I have real neck plates that are worn from hitting jean rivets and belts and its not some circle swirl marks.

Oh well not that I care I was just curious, if it was on a bass I bought as a 60's fender then I would be freaking out.:D
