I picked this up. I also purchased the original neck and case with it as well. It’s a matching ‘78 factory fretless with rosewood fingerboard. It’s missing the electronics and the bridge saddles everything else appears to be original.

I’m going to try to restore the bass to its original glory.

If anyone has a line on a ‘78 P pickup and electronics I’d be interested. Right handed controls are fine with me.

I’ll post it up when it’s done. Might take a minute to locate ‘78 electronics but I’ll get it up and running on something else in the meantime. It’ll be a “driveable project.” :).

I saw the body and bugged the guy to see if he had the neck. He did. He said he wanted to keep it. He’s a righty. Then I plead the case about breaking up vintage lefties and it worked. Doesn’t always work. Having the case too was a total surprise bonus. Seller is a nice guy and understood my reasons for wanting the whole bass.

Initially it was all just a half-assed idea to pursue and see if it was a whole bass. I told Paulo I was thinking about asking the guy about it and he gave me the nudge. Paulo is an enabler in a good way lol.

It’s in pretty darn clean shape as far as I can tell from the pics. I’ve been watching Tony Franklin videos all day getting pumped up on killer fretless P tones. I even messaged him on YouTube about his string choice and he messaged back. He’s a bonafide rock star and studio ace and responds to questions on YouTube in minutes! What a nice guy. Cheers

Very nice looking body! Congrats on taking the plunge... looking forward to your future posts. Curious as to what strings Tony recommended...
