Beautiful bass. Hey, did you get the vintage fingerboard radius or the modern 9 1/2 inch? Also vintage frets or narrow tall? As I recall, you got it from Sweetwater, and they tend to spec them out with modern radius and narrow tall. I’m going to order one of these and think I want the vintage style on both unless someone has a good recommendation on which to choose based on their experience.

It’s 7.25 radius and the small vintage frets. Just like the AV. I love it!

Wow, in the pic the FCS does not look like a 1.75 nut spacing, so thanks for including the rap sheet! I have 2 AV '63s and that spacing really made a HUGE difference for me.

The neck is quarter sawn roasted maple and they did an amazing job with the fret ends. It feels great. I was kinda unsure but this bass really feels like the best bass I have ever played. I look forward to plugging it into my SVT tomorrow.

P bass and SVT: match made in heaven.

I sold my AV 63 and also an electric guitar to purchase this FCS 62 P in sonic blue. I purchased it in July and was told I would have to wait until April but I got it today. So far I love it. I was skeptical about going for it, selling my beloved 63 AV, selling an electric, AND throwing down some cash AND having to go bassless for what I thought would be nine months, but I am glad I did it!
