throwoff Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/left-handed-fender-pricision-bass-1978-/180551660482?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/left-handed-fender-p...ents_Guitars_CV[/url] Something about it does not seem right. I am not a big vintage expert especially with Fenders but it just looks wrong to me. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Eew. It seems to have been built as a mirror image of a proper one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Did Fender split the logo like that on 70s basses? I know some 60s ones differ but I'm not "absaloutly" sure they did come the late 70s. If it is genuine I'd want a LOT more detail. He talks most about his M4 Corridor man journey!

Sibob Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Just been googling! Looks like left handed basses did have the split/opposite decal......I learn something everyday....its ugly though And also looks like '78 was the transition back to 4 bolt!

stinson Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Looks about right apart from non original scratchplate. Only Jazzes had the three bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basshead56 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Looks right to me. I have three (4th on the way) 78´s. The lefty logo from around 76-79/81 (muddy dating period sometimes) was a different story to the righties. Its a split logo, so that the Fender logo could match up with the bottom of the headstock more evenly, or so I´ve read. Though I imagine thats not the original pickguard-most likely it was black.

Cat Burrito Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Didn't sell then? My 78 is an awesome P-bass and I know of a few that are - directly contradicting the theory that they were all dogs. Didn't know that on the split logos on the left handed ones. A bit more info from the seller and this would've sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
