The worn in feel is to die for, but the only quantifiable thing on my '68 Telecaster Bass I haven't found on a modern bass is the neck profile. It's 1 3/4" wide at the nut (same as AVRI, Road Worn and Classic 50's Precisions) and close to an inch thick! All the other Precision basses on the market today have thinner neck profiles. I like the baseball bat-feeling!
