Just bought this '63 "beauty" so count me in too.
Your MarkBass rig looks huge in that pic!
awesome bass and my first Fender. I am having a time dialing in the setup though (for me) and Im real new at that .... but I will get it done either myself or if push comes to shove at a shop.
I cannot believe a nice Bass like this is only $109.00 of course I added the Pick guard and Basslines!

What happened to the original photo? Here it is again.![]()
What a beaut! How does the neck feel with no lacquer on the back, out of interest? Does it get a bit "slow" when your hands sweat, or is it sealed with something like wax
?
I'm seriously considering doing that to my '55 CS Relic, as the nitro lacquer gets really sticky.
Sweet! The year of my birth, too. Oh man, it's so clean. Congrats, I'm envious.

...but it had a good run, it was hard to play metal seeing as it was a p-bass with flats on it.(lol)
