Yeah, Gibson were a bit slow on this, and early fretless basses did indeed have the side dots in the wrong place. Nothing a marker pen and some tipex can't (reversibly) fix

nice bass, do you play it out?

another price drop bump.

This is now on ebay at £850

Just been playing it through an old WEM Dominator bass, and an old Ampeg B15. Sounds especially good in the single coil mode (I assume it's that) . I can make a video or some sound clips if anyone is interested.

I've just reduced all prices, anyone need parts?

well the toggle is for the dimarzio model 1 - changes from single coil to humbucker IIRC. Note that this switch is not an extra hole - the old bass choke switch would have gone in there for the original wiring.

I'd also consider a trade for a good condition early 70s Marshall 50w JMP bass head...

bump for a great bass cab

Just to say I am looking for a various vintage bass parts (Guild/Vox/Gibson etc) so might consider trades on these items.

Thanks for your comments, very much appreciated. and i'm glad you're all enjoying the bass. But I don't think it was shipped any earlier than very late 1967. These were certainly shipping into 1967 with the non intonatable bridge (see [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/parts/bridge/"]Gibson bass bridges[/url]), but it would also have had the wider of the two metal humbucker covers (see [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/parts/pickup/"]Gibson bass pickups[/url]). The hardware definately says later. It is possible that this neck was made and stamped a few years earlier, and sat in the factory for a few years before being shipped - Gibson did funny things like that at times. I haven't taken the pots out to check the codes, but i'm pretty sure they will say late 1967, or even early 1968. Have a look at my 1967 Rivoli that isn't for sale [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/epiphone/bass/1967EpiphoneRivoli.php"]http://www.flyguitars.com/epiphone/bass/1967EpiphoneRivoli.php[/url] - pot codes on that are just past the middle of '67. If this is an issue to anyone we can go into a whole lot more detail, or I can show more photos, even check the pot codes.
