Hi Folks!
Recently I got CS heavy relic Jazz Bass Neck on Ebay. It looked great on a photo. Birdseye maple with rosewood fingerboard. The seller has 100% positive feedback. So, I bught It. Now I have doubts about its authenticity.

"Fender" Logo decail looks strange. It's too "tall". Contours are clearly visible and is very much felt to the touch. Is it normally?
(CS logo on a back of headstock, "relic" & over stamps looks good)

Also, dot markers looks too white & seem made of a porous material. I thought that it should be coloured for age looking. Am I right?

The fingerboard seems to me too thick but I have nothing to compare except mine 2011 CS NOS 59' Precision Bass - It' perfect. I'm originally owner...

Here is the photo: http://photobucket.com/user/xander_hook_off/library/
Please, help me! Thanks!

ps: Also I think that there was an thrussrod repair

I tried to look at the pics but photobucket and I disagree on if they (PB) suck or not. I have an account and can't load pics here. Your page of pics---- it went blank - before I could check out the pics. If you could just post them on this thread it would be better. From the quick glance at the thumbnails the neck looks interesting and worthy of more inspection. I'm sure everyone would like to see them. :D

Please wait for a professional response, which I am sure you will have soon. I am away from my collection so all I can do is look at your pictures. To be honest, I don't see anything scary. But working on a phone, I don't have much to look at either.

Give the forum a bit of time to respond.

Regarding eBay. I have bought a ton of basses on eBay. I have had issues exactly three time...but they are all memorable. I wouldn't worry until you know more.

Sorry I cannot be of more help, but age over 60 and a 2" screen do not go together very well.
