What to make of this...
Obv not original case but also I cant find any evidence of a 1978 p bass having a gold anodized guard so Im picking this is non original also.

I’d say 70’s neck and either mim body and bits or something like that.

Yeh I wondered...
But he says he's had it since 1984 and as far as I know they didnt make fenders in mexico then ( started 1987?)

My old Greco Jazz is so old it's a "Gneco"

Very much like mine. The old Maxon pups sound great!

Yeah they do, they're actually single coils underneath the faux HB top!
The frets on mine have zero life left and the fretboard is flat (no radius).
If I get the frets done I might get the board radiused to 7.25"

My pups were really microphonic so I had them waxed and made a healthy change.

The neck radius is good, the frets are very vintage

Strings vintage as well? When were they last changed?

Maybe a Gneco is a lawsuit Greco. The plot thickens!

I think "Gneco" is an earlier logo style which was altered to "Greco". They are all Grecos.

So your fretboard has a radius?

I'm sure it does. I will have another look when I get home next week.
Mine is apparently built in 1975.

The Joy of Set Up

Got this back from Peter Stephen today…smooth sailing here. He’s fucked with the shim and zero fret then worked frets 6-9.

A great bass sounds even better now. Highly recommended Peter Stephens Luthier
