Hamster Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 All for sale items must have a quoted price. Thanks
phsycoandy Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 errr in the absence of no guide price I'll take my chances at £100
Sibob Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Think it's safe to assume this is also a refinish?! Pretty cool though! Si

Jebo1 Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 It is a refinish - fender didn't offer a natural finish until 74.

adledman Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 looks like dark brown varnish and not brown paint to me???
Jebo1 Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Sorry buddy, 'mocha' - the only original brown finish Fender offerred - was also introduced in 74. Fenders in 66' were either Sunburst or custom coloured, and brown wasn't a custom colour. Trust me.
Jebo1 Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 And the bridge isn't original either. A 66 bridge would have had the pre=CBS style multi-ferruled bridge. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I've spent a pathetically long time with vintage Fender basses.

For not completly-original?[/quote] ok, sorry about confusion: i have so many basses. It seems to be a ref. body, although this finish is everywhere, under the pickguard, control cavities, neck pocket.it's a high gloss over it, as on a 70'ies natural body. the bridge saddles are not the correct ones, the bridge seems to be from a later 69'ies model. i lowered the price too ! 1750 EUR WITH CASE !!!! the bass is VERY lightweigt and VERY resonant
