I'm still not sure I want to sell the bass. But over Thanksgiving my dog had emergency stomach surgery after swallowing an oven mitt. You know how pricey it is to take a dog to the Emergency animal clinic, especially over a holiday.
Anyways, some of you might have seen this bass on TB before. When I first bought it, the finish was stripped and coated with a bad 70s clear coat. It also had a Badass bridge installed and a Laguna pickup.
Luckily, the original bridge, and bridge cover was in the case. So I reinstalled the bridge. I also sent the bass to RS Guitarworks in Kentucky for an accurate refin. So it is now back to original blonde. It looks a little lighter than what I'm familiar with, but they told me that over time it will darken to the standard color.
I also purchased a 1968 Telecaster bass pickup that had never been installed. RS Guitarworks installed the pickup at the same time they put the bass back together before shipping it back to me.
Here is what I know is original:
Body
Neck/Logo
Tuners
Pickguard
Bridge
Knobs
Finger Rest/ Tugbar
Here is what I'm not sure is original (but could be):
Frets
Pots
Nut
And the things I know are not original:
Finish
Pickup
Case
Because of the rarity, slow market, and mods, I'm not sure what price to list the bass. But I will start with ON HOLD--READ THE THREAD. But if you are seriously interested, shoot me a PM and we can talk about it. Also, if you want to see more detailed pics, send me a PM.
Thanks
