I recently bought this bass for $50 from someone that found it in a dumpster, I knew it was a steal so I had to get it before one of my friends tried to buy it first. The neck was pretty bent, pickups weren't held in place, Bridge cover was really loose with stripped screws, Parts are rusted.. I put a wooden shim between the neck and the body where it bolts, adjusted the truss rod and lowered the bridge and that seemed to fix it. I replaced the screws and everything works fine now. A nice vintage bass for $50.
I was just wondering if you knew the history behind this bass, and if you could tell me a little more about it.
