| | Registered User | | | | None really - it's a potential trade and I'd like to make sure I'm getting a good one.
It's certainly a looker

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Melbourne, Australia | | | Serial says '77. Some fenders have the strap button there. My '60 P bass has the strap button in the same place. Looks like the real deal. The pickup and pots dates would help. Decal and machine heads are correct for '77. |

| He's only talking about the regular strap button on the horn being positioned slightly differently.
Looks legit to me, nice bass. |

More pics below | I had a '78 JUST like this one but I put a '69 P-bass pup in it and it really thumped. Very light body tho and was neck heavy. BTW, the front strap button was in the same location as yours. I have a pic of it but it's not scanned.
