Pretty good for someone looking for a player's bass.

No guarantee that neck was original to that bass but who cares, a J neck profile on a P would be a good player especially if you could snag it low. Could have been ordered like that too. I went and looked at a red 72' maple board (seller claimed) P bass that had a J neck on it and super light. I passed because I thought it was a fake because it was so light. I became much more knowledgeable in the older Fenders since then because I walked away from a rare bass and some were actually light then. It was original.

The '73 pictured at the top of this site is a total featherweight.

Someone bought the neck separately.

(or seller kept it)

Don't blame them for keeping the neck and selling off the body. That's just about the worst T-burst refinish I've ever seen.

It would look stupid regardless of what neck you put on it.

Is that big (looks like) CNC route under the bridge normal for that era?
