Just pickup up a 74. Bought it for a great deal from a friend, but it’s a project. 8.4 pounds! I replaced one tuner, which was bent, I put a spitfire tort on it I had laying around because the factory white one had the quintessential crack by the jack, and I’ll need the shim the neck which has a maxed out but working truss rod. The neck is also a bit crooked in the pocket / the bridge is installed slightly off - the E string is too close to traveling off the fretboard. The pickup is an Aguilar but sounds amazing, caps and pots are original and sound fantastic. So, I guess after the chiropractor I’ll look for a 74 pickup and maybe a 70s hard shell case. Cheers!

A timeless rock machine ! Enjoy !
Technically I have two Sterling basses as well, but both needed a new nut (previously used them both for BEAD) and in the process of removing the old ones, they were glued in so tight that wood chunks came with them. Planning to just hang up the bodies on my wall in memorial or donate them.
