Looks similar to this one below, but the fleabay one headstocks completely different & a bit fugly to my eyes ....saying that the catalogs for a 1977 model year....and a prettier looking bass.

Bassclef Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Yeah I looked at that one too and was put off by the headstock shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I'd have no worries about the shape of the headstock as that's the way they were. It's just a real shame that the original parts have been replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
