karlfer Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I am rather liking the look of the little chap in the following link. The kind gentleman selling it took the neck off and informs me the model number is PF-57DGF. Got the PB, got the dash, got the 57, buggered if I know what the DGF is though . Answers on a postcard please, I thank you! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170968812121?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Have a look at this - not conclusive but..... http://www.tdpri.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-265088.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAlonBass Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It seems like a fairly common addition, whatever it is. There's even a neck for sale on here with the same letters at the end of the number.

I read somewhere that DGF were initials but that seems a bit far fetched. Edited January 8, 2013 by pobrien_ie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pobrien_ie Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Oh and if it helps the bass was the standard (basswood bodied) 57RI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Many thanks fellas. It will be a wide neck, but I'm very probably going to have a punt. Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pobrien_ie Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It should be the 1-5/8" (41.3mm) nut width with a 7.25 radius. It's a pretty comfortable neck IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 DFG is fender japan colour code for dolphin grey which you find on the aerodine basses, why it's on this only some folk in japan will know! It looks like a good one though. At the worst it looks like a PB-57 as it seems to have the spiral bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
