Yes. That IS a 1976 John Birch SCDR bass. It's slightly surplus at the moment.

The Retrovibe is really surprisingly good, apart from a couple of minor build issues that
were quite easily fixed. String tree on headstock was loose when bass arrived. I just
removed it. TRC was not screwed in properly. 2 secs of a job. action went down to
where I like it - no issue there.

Has a very pleasing deep thick bass sound when I roll a bit of the treble off the bridge
PU. Not Ric-ish, but a gorgeous player. Superb value for money. Seriously considering a
4string if he has any left.
 
My Cort bass guitar, I payed like 45 dollars for it in May I am starting lessons in a week. The back has some dings but that is just character showing through. I like this guitar and I really want to learn, strung it up myself for the first time and it holds tune so I am pretty proud of that lol. I want 2 other basses one I build and one I buy. The pickgaurd is messed up because I took the original one of to spray it black. While I was working on it I had it set up on top of 2 bricks bricks were vertical and pickgaurd was horizontal, something fell onto it and broke it in half. so now I have a messed up pickgaurd lol.

Many of my basses were stock when I got them, and now aren't. I just can't leave well enough alone. :D

That many basses deserves it's own thread. Yikes. What an awesome collection you have. Obviously..

:eek: O M G :eek:

I presume your next purchase will be a string factory, right? :)

Kidding aside, very impressive collection! Gratz! :bassist:
 
The bass to the left, the first bass I got, is a bad woodrock bass, which I got for my birthday.

The bass to the right is a MusicMan Stingray bass. It's an awesome bass in my opinion, and I do recommend it. Bad thing is that it's quite expensive... ;)

Not a very huge collection, but I guess it has to start somewhere. :)
