Some guy just told me

Yeah, but consider this.
I also lived through to 70’s. My 1970 P bass has a four bolt neck. It isn’t all original.
Coincidence?
You, or the bass?
Strats and Teles had a 3 bolt neck back then...not sure about basses though.
But I'd have told him thanks for the info and steered him to the bar.

Maybe your friend is still living in the ‘70s.
I mean, he hasn’t heard about the internet and doing a simple yahoo search, apparently.

Tell him the 4th one got used to screw the last guy that bagged on your bass. 
Nah, don't sweat it man... the world is full of know-it-alls. Everybody knows, the real sharp dudes hang around here. We talk bass all day and night. One wonders how we ever get any playing done!

The jazz went to 3 bolt. The precision never did. Tell this “guy” to go sh#t in his hat and pull it over his ears
I was born in the fifties. Lived through the seventies. Am now in my sixties.
That makes me a freq-in expert on everything built since I was born.
By the way, except for filings in my teeth. All parts are original and still there.
That doesn’t mean everything works like it did fourty years ago. But I’m all original.
I certainly am lol froze my mind in the framework of June '75 knowing it wasn't going to get any better
Frankenstein didn't live to be 70, and that's because he only had a two bolt neck.
Jeeze! If you're not careful, you could scratch up your belt buckle with that thing!
What the...!
Oh I know... Dead spot adjusters.
They ain't bolts, they's screws, and three is too few. That's why nobody likes Jazz basses at all.
That's because FrankenFenders only had two bolt necks in the 70's; the third bolt having rolled under the couch when I was putting it together and it was too hard to reach.
That's exactly what my band is trying to accomplish...bringing back music from that era.
Imagine a Twilight Zone episode where someone walks into a bar and the band is pure mid-seventies...because it's actually 1975.
We don't have time for covers, we're an all original retro-rock band...think New York Dolls, Bowie, Slade, etc.
Nothing wrong with the '70s...just the opposite, right?
