gjones Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 That's very interesting. It's got proper tuners and the rear pickup is in the 70s position. Nice inlay too. There's been some dodgy 70s Fender clones on this forum but this looks like the real deal. Good luck with the sale.
ash Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 The tuners look like the type found on Tokai basses, very nice.... dare I say.....nope I'll stick to [i]very[/i] nice!
Rammsteinbrit Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Dont suppose youre interested in a trade for a Gibson Epiphone Thunderbird Pro-IV?

Rammsteinbrit Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I believe that children are the future, have a bump for the bass I want!

[/quote]interesting - although I've not seen one like this before. Mother of pearl block inlays without the binding. Quite unusual. it feels like quality I have to say
