72 fretless maple neck on fleabay Good deal or no?

 These can be tough to find, if it had the original nut and tuners I would have hit BIN all ready. Not sure what he means but the truss rod turns freely, I have asked for clarification on that. I was going to use a cheaper alternative for my build but having the "real" part would be nice. Would you guys pop for this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/190805722672?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I think it's a good deal as is. Most Fender necks of this vintage don't come with hardware anyway. And very few are under $500. The B width is nice too.

Well it's mine! This project just got a whole lot more expensive!

Gosh, now there's a surprise...

Kenny it's a slippery slope! Knowing me I won't be satisfied with the project till it's all vintage Fender  The body I bought is from a 2012 "70's" P bass Hopefully I can make do.

I think I paid around $450 for my neck, without tuners. Once I found tuners I probably had $650 in that neck. Then I stuck it on the $550 T-bird body and suddenly I was into it for over a grand. Then at ridiculous Bicentennial pickguard...

I justified it all because a) I love seeing old stuff put back together and b) the T-bird was turned into a Fenderbird back in the 1970s so it's all period.

That is one badass Fenderbird you have Denis!

If you want to make it feel more authentic you could always route under the PG and install a piece of railroad track to make it have 70's Fender Precision weight.

I really should visit the shed one of these days...

 I am not sure about the age of my teachers bass but I' guessing around '72-'74 I'm thinking it had a alder body, I don't remeber deep grain like a ash body.

The squirrels miss you! 

[Highlander]

Nope, they greet us every morning with a "where's the nuts" look on their faces, and not a USA passport (Jackie just got her new one) in sight...
