My 1978 Telecaster Bass

...and yes, the garage is still in a bad shape...

Gotta love a garage where a Marshall amp is tossed under the workbench!!!!

BTW, my guess is that the original color on your bass was "Blonde". I'm not exactly sure of Fender colors in the late '70s, but in the early/mid '70s (when I bought my first bass...a brand new '74 Precision), "Blonde" was the standard color for Telecasters (both guitar and bass) and custom colors such as Olympic White were available. Excellent bass none the less...

Thanks for the information. It is hard to tell what exact yellowed-white color the bass is.

I no longer have that Marshall, it was a JCM 900 SL-X. My bandmate bought it. Then, I missed having a Marshall and found a 30th anniversary head (LM6100 model) that now sits in a more prominent place. My Aggie cab and LM II rack are now under the workbench.
