Yep - the gold paint "Fender" logo was a special touch.
I'm looking to get it back to as near to original as I can.
On the plus side, I bought it at a car boot for a fiver!
I've got a couple of basses which I expect to be in the "thuddy" domain once they're brought back to life.
One is a Vox Clubman.
And the other is a Shaftesbury Ric(-ish) semi copy.
Both need extensive work; the Vox is nearest, as I've nearly sanded the body down.
Can anybody help me on this: I need a set of machines for a Levinson Blade neck it's a Japanese Texas model.
I've finished a couple of projects, so I'd like to get the guitar I've built around this finished...
I'd like to do it without drilling new holes.
Thanks!
A hacked Squier (though it has got CTS pots and a Sprague cap, which add gazillions to the value!).
Oh, but the bridge & pickup covers aren't included...
But then again it's got a hardwood thumb pull.
But the title of the auction is:
"Genuine Fender 1973 Telecaster P bass guitar Precision Jazz roadworn 70's 51P"
The details then clarify that half of the instrument isn't "Genuine Fender 1973".
