Details

SOLD
Been fighting with doing this for awhile, but up for sale is my '73. It was "blacked out", which was apparently a fad at some point, I've got a '64 Strat that Nils Lofgren did the same thing to. Then that black finish was removed. Has some extra holes from a bridge that sat lower, two different movements of the thumb rest (one putting an extra hole in the pickguard), and strap lock holes that are next to the original holes.

Aside from that, original body, neck, tuners, nut, plate, pickguard, most screws, and strap buttons. Has a non-original yet coincidentally '73 bridge plate, but the saddles are new knock-offs. Some other things are newer, although the bridge cover looks pretty old. Comes with a Red Label Fender form fitting case, these are the good ones, fits like a glove, closes easily.

Tuners turn a tad bit "strongly" as I'm hesitant to oil them, but have no fear they function fine. Back of the neck is defin'd but awesome, quick and smooth, probably better off playing-wise. 1990ish CTS pots, yet original capacitor, also newer knobs. Rockin a Duncan Antiquity with the raised A pole pieces option and new 50 guage lo-riders by DR. Also has original grounding plate.

The fretboard and frets on this are ridiculously clean, plays and sounds wonderful.

SOLD

I'll put a couple pics now, more later. Somebody get a $15 Reranch can and make this thing sexy!

Should point out that I'd trade for a comparable shape TV logo P with a maple board, as that's what I'm aiming to get to replace it. Or I'd trade comparable necks for that matter if it was marked 73 or slightly earlier.

Sound clips? And some more pics? Can´t believe there so little interest for this bass at that price! Crazy...

I've actually gotten a lot of PM's, I might even accept an offer on Monday. It would take me forever to get a sound clip up. I think my pics cover just about everything, if you're interested in buying I could send you more pics directly, just be specific about where you want shot. I also have a pic of the end of the neck verifying the date.
