Summary
Finish: Original
Body Material: Alder
Body Details: Solid alder body
Neck Material: Maple
Neck Profile: "C" profile
Neck Thickness (IN): .82" (1st fret), .99" (12th fret)
Fingerboard Radius: 7.25"
Nut Width: 1-3/8"
Scale Length: 34
Neck Details: Bolt-on maple neck with bound rosewood fretboard, block inlays, and heel-adjust truss rod. The neck has a "7 FEB 68 A" stamp on the heel.
Electronics: Original grey bobbin single coil pickups, which have been rewound and re-leaded, and original wiring harness with neck and bridge volume controls and master tone control. The bridge ground wire has been replaced, and some solder joints have been repaired. The pot codes date to 1966; the bridge pickup has a 1969 ink stamp.
Pickup Measurements: 6.5k (neck), 6.8k (bridge)
Hardware: Original; the thumb rest is missing.
Weight: 9 lbs 3 oz
Cosmetic Condition: Lots of nice aging and use can be seen throughout this instrument. Nicks and dings are present throughout the body and neck with it heaviest around the bottom edge. There is a roughly .75" x 1" area on the side of the treble-side horn where the finish has completely chipped away. Handwear is present on the back of the neck and is most prevalent along the treble-side. The hardware shows moderate tarnishing.
Modifications/Repairs: The pickups have been rewound and re-leaded.
Tech Notes: The bass plays well with low action and light neck relief, and is currently set up with 45-100 strings. The truss rod is close to its maximum position, but the bass sets up well with standard light or extra light strings. The frets are low with mild wear present. The neck stamp, serial number, and electronics codes date the bass to 1969.
Case Details: Original black rectangular Fender hardshell with a plush orange interior and lots of nice wear. The left and right side latches spring function no longer operates.
