Just picked up this beauty... When I was 17 years old I bought a Shergold Marathon bass guitar for £89. Shergolds were hand made in London and were a British equivalent of Gibson or Fender at the time I think. I sold it in the mid 80's for about the same as I paid for it... and regretted it ever since. Every time I've looked at any sort of guitar on eBay I've always looked for Shergolds... especially the basses. A new one in 1979 was around £180 (more than a months pay for many here in the UK at that time). So when one came through the door in good condition today... I simply had to have it to add to my stable. This beauty was made on 24th of February 1979. I'm stoked to have this (34" long scale), stereo Marathon Bass... it's going to be loved, cherished and played.
But I wonder where I can get a bridge cover and the pick guard with the correct Shergold logo etc. to restore it to original condition.
