nonkel26 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 Thanks! And it plays as nice as it looks! :-)
CH161 Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Lovely looking bass. Does it have the original case? Any pickup dates? Also any body routs at all? Thanks...
nonkel26 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Posted November 26, 2014 There's an old fender case , I think "late sixties" but it is very worn, a lot of tolex is missing, so is the handlle. I don't know about pick-up dates, where can I find them? I will try to find out this weekend.
CH161 Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Pick up dates would be on the bottom of the pick up - assuming they remembered to date them! Maybe a pic if possible and of the case? Cheers...

[/quote] No, 1963 pickups were not dated at all. They should have black bobbins and maroon coloured coil wires. Solderings should be untouched. The black covers should have a more satin surface instead of a glossy one. GLWTS

The pickups wires looks pretty old and spot on according to the pics of the pots. Edit: where's my manners... Looks like a lovely bass, GLWTS! Edited November 29, 2014 by Chiliwailer
