Show us your very well-kept vintage basses (the no-mojo thread)

Dude just posted some pics of his nearly pristine '69 Jazz, and it got me to thinking-how many of you out there have nitro finished vintage basses that have actually been kept up and pampered all these years?

Let's see all those super clean,mojo-free vintage basses!

How's this:
1976 4000
I'm the second owner



Not actually a nitro finish, it's base/clear like they still use, but it's got not much wear.

'68/69 (not too sure which...Neither is Hagstrom...) Hagstrom 8 string. One of 200 or 250 made. My dad bought it in Montréal in 1969. Gave it to me as a gift for my birthday a while back.

It's in incredible shape. A few dings here and there (some scratches on the pickguard from when he put a sticker there). The neck is straighter than any neck I've ever seen.

Here's mine - a 1965 Greco. Not too bad for a 45 year old.

you could have told me those pics were of a brand new one and I would have had no trouble believing you.

To be fair I did wipe off the fingerprints before the photos.

Not sure if qualifies as vintage, but it is about 30 years old. I sold it recently, but it was about as non-mojoed as a 1981 bass can get! It's an Aria Pro II SB-700.
