    Rotated for your convenience: Compared with this '74 (courtesy of Elderly Instruments, who I presume are a fairly reputable source), doesn't the font look a bit different? I think that's a replacement decal. The Fender bit is too far to the right (the tip of the F is underneath the string tree whereas on the '74 shown it is to the left of it and just misses it). The font is not only a different style, it's a different size too.

    I'll stick my neck out and say the logo's wrong for '73 isn't it? That style didn't appear until about '75?

    If it stays below £75, you buy it and you don't like it, you'll probably get your money back selling it on. If it goes above £100, leave it be and come on over to watch me eat my hat

    Oh man, who glued that? If it's just a cosmetic thing then why oh why didn't they just hold it on with the nuts on the pots?

    That's a better (more accurate) one than some of the more recent ones, it's got the 2 stacked vol/tone knobs instead of 1 master vol, 1 master tone and selector switch.

    +1 on swapping the halves over, the raised poles should be under the A string. See this Seymour Duncan pickup for reference: [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/antiquity/bass/1104412_pickup/"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/anti...1104412_pickup/[/url]

    Anyone who likes a good solid sounding and different looking passive bass would be happy with a G-3. I know I'm happy with mine.

    [quote name='mrcrow' post='671085' date='Dec 1 2009, 02:07 PM']what are the string spacings... cheers geof[/quote] 19mm spacing, and the screw holes appear to be the same spacing as Fender bridges, approx 17mm.

    I must confess that I wasn't impressed with the Burns Bison I picked up, I checked it out after the Gibson G-3 I bought, and I found it rather lacking in output, it seemed far too polite sounding. Perhaps playing it after a Gibson G-3 wasn't the best comparison, but I was playing it through a nice Phil Jones amp (the Six Pack if memory serves) and I was just thoroughly underwhelmed by it on any of its settings. Just my 2p.

    Oh well, welcome back to the forum

    Some stuff sold - bump!

    Je ne regret rien, I'm pleased to say. I've only been playing a few years, and it's been all the way up in terms of gear quality so far, so I don't miss any of my sold basses. Except maybe the Takamine acoustic owing to its beautiful front, back and sides in vivid quilted maple, but even then I wouldn't move mountains to get it back because I never found much of a use for an acoustic.
