Guest Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I have a nice 68 bit light on the top end but nice bottom end with as much growl as you want, good condition for age and plays beautifully, suitable rock and roll but fine for a bit of jazz as well . cost? a lot more than you first imagined and comes with many, many accessories strop included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm not a fan of vintage, bagged a nice 84 that I'm going keep for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've got a lovely '76..... beautifully ergonomically designed like my Spectors..... very shapely with a full, tight bottom and just enough top end to attract your attention without dominating the mix. VERY easy on the eye & a pleasure to play..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 My '85 is anything but heavy and the quality control was obviously very very high that day, they also must have had a shipment of the best bodies, necks and parts for my model! ....... i wonder how long we can keep this up for lol Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theosd Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm quite happy about mine's tendency to neck dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) firstly - you can have my vintage unmodified 74' highly strung bender brain-fraz - free! secondly - on the lookout for a nice 87' model light wear and incredibly tight g-string...blonde long neck and big buttoned variety!

queenofthedepths Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm quite satisfied with my '87 but I'd like to de-fret her and also make her active... would I regret these mods? And where could I get a hard case to fit her?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I've almost managed to get rid of the '52, the replacement '60 is far superior in every way, especially harmonics. Somewhat heavier, but more comfortable all the same. Those spring-out buttons are great, aren't they? Just a little touch and they pop out so you can fiddle with them to your heart's content.

16Again Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I just got rid of a '64, nice smooth body, boiled strings but the only problem was it was neck diving all over the place, must be the brass truss rods. on the look out for something newer but i'm in no hurry, i'll bide my time. ooo, just thought i could get a new made in taiwan one now, a bit costly though, so i've heard! and probably got the same indiscrimate neck diving gobble action!

Raggy Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Just got rid of a 76, wondering if I should of. The top end was very prominent and the bottom end nice and round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
