It you want it for a serious player then you must check out the neck. There are just too many basses that have not survived from this period because of neck issues and IMHO I would not buy one unless I was sure of the neck.

Headstock usually.
Graham, the price seems ok if real. I only wonder how original it really is. There's lots of converted 4000's & fakers out there. What's the s/n? etc etc

That REAL 60's headstock shape (not v63 et al) is to die for, ain't it?

Thats a 64 headstock.The v63 is like the 65 through 68 headstock.
If you notice on the c64 they tried to correct this by widening the wings.
