henry norton Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 [url="http://guitarras-fender.com/guitarras/vintage-bass-fender-telecaster-bass/"]Never Seen One Of These Before[/url] Ignoring the information on the website, has anyone seen a two pickup 70's Tele bass before? The Badass, contoured body, blocked & bound board make me think this is a bitsa one off. I've been a bit obsessed with Wide-Range equipped Tele basses lately, probably due to my 2 decade relationship with Precisions mixed up with my more recent discovery of old Gibson EB-0s.

hairyhaw Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Intriguing. Can't decide whether I like it or not. It's like a Tele Custom that's been fed Miraclegro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 There have been a couple of threads about these; probably about a year ago.

henry norton Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Cool, mystery solved. I don't much like the way it's been done but if it had a slab body, dots, bbot, and a different shaped scratchplate I might just be into it big time. I wonder if they used original CuNiFe magnet pickups or did they have to use Squier VM's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I like it, would get one built in white if I come into some cash... ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
