Original or what :-(

The question I have is. Does it play well as delivered? If not work on it. To your liking.

I wouldn't waste much time telling my friend he was full of crap either.

I'm curious, what specifically did your friend point to on THIS bass to support his accusation that it is a fake?

Also, a question for John: How much variation can there be between neck and body dates on the same bass on basses from the late 90s?

The I am going to get your goat is what he pointed to.

Well, in germany there are some guys "producing" Instruments from garbage they buy from the companies. For example they buy buggy necks and assemble them to cheap bodies. Is MM selling their buggy necks ? Next he ment there has to be a Delano installed, what is simply crap, for my opinion !

He's jealous because the bastard thing looks like brand new

On my Bass the build date ist stamped in the neck pocket, on the neck itself there's a date written by hand with a pencil, with the letters "PS", as you can see on the picture. Could be the name of the employee, couldn't it ;-).

In the pocket there's also a colour stamp, for color-blinds

I believe MusicMan destroys anything they produce that doesn't meet their quality standards. I know they cut up the instrument bodies, I'd bet the same applies to necks.

I think the last thing they would ever do with substandard stuff is sell it.

I agree, Steve.
