Nice mojo... This seems more like an ancient P Bass with that pickup but I'm no Fender guy.

Lotta scratch for something that's not 100% original.

How's the single coil pickup sound? Does anyone prefer it over the split coil?

With the looks of that bridge saddle and nut, it appears someone might have used it strung righty. The nut looks like a possible remake and string spacing aint all that good. Look at the D and G spacing. Hack Nut Cut!!!

I do like that headstock design tho. Billy Sheehan sure liked it too. Same neck that was on his "wife" bass :mrgreen:
