Awesome string neck bridge alignment and an equally awesome price is what comes to my mind. I'll leave it at that...

I just don't get that price for a 75. Even reduced it's still way overpriced!!! |

This hurts my brain. This is literally why I can't get my head around why people are so fanatical about Fender products. |

As have I. What I should have said is that I don't see the value of Fender instruments from the mid-70s to to the late 90s as being any greater than the instruments that they are producing today, which I have found to be far more consistent and better intended and built. |

@bigevilrobot: I agree, I've never understood, the pricing of Fenders such as this. I could see the value being up there in a collector like a 1960 stack knob, but, case in point, I'm much happier spending that kind of money on a new F Bass that is a known, high quality instrument, than an old Fender with questionable mojo. But hey, that's me, and you, and tomdbass... and a few others it seems. |

My 1960 lefty P bass which I sold in 1994, is currently valued at $15-20k. These are pretty much out of the reach of the average working musician and are usually bought today by top pros and wealthy collectors. |

Agreed, I was referring primarily to the bass at the top of the thread and others like it, like bigevilrobot mentioned. Just don't see the "value". |

Yeah it's WAY overpriced. But hey, it's Chicago Music Exchange. |

@thumbslam: it looks like the neck plate is crooked. Might have something to do with that alignment (or the lack thereof) you mentioned. |

There is much more going on here then just a neck misalignment. It looks to me like a bridge misalignment. I don't believe loosening the neck, shifting and retightening is going to fix this one.  ...but what the hell.. I got 5k sitting around....... SCORE!!!!!!!
