Sign in to disble this ad
Cream body
Looks like original head w/ Fender sticker
No visible serial number, just patent numbers below sticker on head:
"PAT 2,946,960 2,972,925 2,245,078 2,700,300"
Two standard P-Bass pickups and one Jazz-Bass pickup back toward the bridge.
Two knobs and one pickup switch.
No "F" on plate at back, just a black plate behind where the knobs are.
See pics
Thanks!

But I could be wrong... |

Am I the only one who noticed 21 frets?
Then there is the early 70's decal + 21 frets = fake

| | | | Ok thanks guys. So, how bout THIS ONE. I have been playing it with the understanding that it's a 75 P-Bass all original, except for a newer pickguard I had put on. |

Also, photos without serial numbers don't help a lot.
