Why cross head screws on the guard?

[quote name='bassatnight' timestamp='1501178594' post='3343164'] Basschat used to be a great place to buy or sell gear 8-10 years ago and I made a lot of bass playing buddies through sales but as it grew in popularity, so did the amount of time wasters and jokers who think helpful comments about the gear your selling flourished. I used to buy and sell a lot on here about 7 years ago but just got fed up with meaningless messages and comments that potentially scupper your sale with personal unhelpful opinions. But having said that it's still a great place for more realistic prices as opposed to eBay. [/quote] [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1501232855' post='3343421'] I. Would have to agree with this I have been messed about on bc that much that I have given up selling basses and bigger items on the site it's not the sites fault but like every thing the site has grown and thus more idiots and lowballers on the site I'd rather pay the eBay fees and still get the same amount of money or more than I would on bc [/quote] Interesting thread I agree with these two comments

[quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1501788131' post='3347420'] Yeah I couldn't find one that matched!! It's close enough for a player tho [/quote]they do do reissue 70's guards with correct truss rod access or if you are lucky you sometimes see original ones on eBay

[quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1501777408' post='3347316'] Was it the truss rod gap that gave it away or is it too shiny? [/quote]truss rod gap

[quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1501769851' post='3347245'] Guard on the white one isn't original - I have the original and it's cracked, so I swapped it out [/quote]thought as much, cheers

Great gear I had an all valve V6 and one sold for about £900 on eBay in Swansea last week. Someone got a wonderfully powerful and tone full amp Still got TE tranny amps and they give me all the power and tone I need nowadays

[quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1501716712' post='3346913'] I have two P's that are similar: a 64 and a 74. The 74 is a year of birth, and so special for that reason. I lucked out on both to be honest. In fact, I've probably used up all of my bass buying karma on them! Differences as far as I am concerned: - Neck profiles are very different. 74 has a standard 70's nut width (1.65") and a rounder C, the 64 is wider at 1.75" and slimmer front to back. - The 74 is maple, the 64 Braz Rosewood, and the 64 feels slicker, smoother and easier to move around on - Weight difference is negligible - the 64 is a touch lighter, but like I said, I lucked out getting a light 70's P.. - Finish feels different, with the 64 being nitro and the 74 not.. - Sound wise, the tone pot is more usable on the 64 and gives a more pleasing rolled off tone, and I'd say the 64 is generally a bit more 'refined' - it's a woodier sound. The 74 is clearly a hotter pickup and has more heft, but they both sound like classic P basses (duh!) They are both all original. They both make me very happy, for slightly different reasons. And the crunch question - which do I prefer? Well, only one gets hauled to rehearsals, used for recording, writing new bass lines and practice.. and that's the 64. [/quote]is the guard on the white one original?
