HELP! Rare fretless Precision Body with a Jazz Neck MIM
- Thread starter los100malditos

They`re not rare. I see fretless bodies everywhere I lookSo, the body is fretless?
that was my first impression ... all the screws on the neckplate are flawless, new, mint ... someone did it very very carefully ...
Wow, someone removed screws without damaging them? Is that even possible? Could it be that they heard of, and amazingly, had access to, the fabled #2 Phillips head screwdriver?
it is said that only the chosen one can wield the phillips head screw driver, the end of fretless bodies is near!
All kidding aside, the only thing that can be believed about that bass at this time is the Neck is a 2007 MIM Jazz neck (and I'd still like to see pics of it to be sure). I don't think Fender's currently making a Fretless Precision in that price range, so it makes a sort of sense that someone put it together. However, that Precision body could be anything. There are tons of P-Bass copies out there; it could be a MIM Fender, but it also could be an SX, Hondo, or any of a number of other brands. The bass didn't come from factory that way; there is no Custom Shop in Mexico that I've ever heard of. That being said, if the bass is selling for cheap, and sounds and plays great, who cares?
You guys are goin with very little sleep, eh?
No, not at all. Is that a joke? I mean, I see the laughing emoticon, but I don't see the joke.
Possibly because youre coming down hard on the guy for nothing, Dan. I mean.. hes asking a question, and you gave a terribly sarcastic answer. You made up for it in your later post though!
Post some pictures, itd help us out big time.

Squier Precison Special body with Mighty Mite neck
easy way to see is measuring the width
or how thick the body
If its a Fender then the average thickness is 1 1/2" give or take measured at the upper and lower bouts (horns)
My Squier was much thinner probably between 1"-1-1/4"
plus the agathis body was super light
still it was a great sounding bass
I just hope you didnt buy it for over 250 bucks
