Reggaebass

I lost mine but found it a few days later, I leave it on one of my basses now 😁

I think the tort guards can make or break a bass, the only ones that come close to the originals are spitfire and Avantguard , but they are really expensive

Firstly, very happy birthday 🎂, and I do like a pink bass, looks really cool

Hi sam, you could also put this in the vintage fenders thread, there’s some pretty knowledgeable people there

Ive had mainly late 60s to 72 jazzes and Precision’s and I’m no expert , it’s quite difficult to exactly date a body as they stopped dating them in the early 60s, from 73 onwards they did the rout from the pickup to the control cavity , I believe they stopped the serial number on the neckplate in 76 so your large F plate with the gasket would be about right for a 77 and the neck pocket stamps look right ,around that time under the bridge I think they did the ground wire rout circular, might be worth having a look at that, the pot is stamped 77 week 11, and to me the bridge looks genuine as do the knobs

Welcome Carlos

Wow great selection, especially like that 64P

With matching headstock of course

hi Ainsley, yes I did slightly, I saw a tip to use an old roundwound string as a sort of file by sliding it up and down to widen the slot, it worked a treat and didn’t take much

That’s not good especially after waiting so long, hope you get it sorted soon

I’m probably stating the obvious but has it been made the opposite way round Rob

Thinking about it I could probably take the A ,D and G string off and still be ok 😁

You just have to have a bit of Dennis Brown now and again , originally out around 1977
