gareth Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) not original [color=teal][size=1][b][font=Times New Roman][size=3]A NOTE ON THE USE OF ROSEWOOD AND EBONY, SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION, THE USE OF BLACK EPOXY ON PRE-AMPS, BODY CONTOURING & BRIDGES. Although Rosewood was used for [u]fretless[/u] Basses, [u]fretted Rosewood[/u] was not introduced as an option until very late 1979 (or very early 1980). At the same time fretless Basses changed from Rosewood to Ebony.[/size][/font][/b][/size][/color] with the lack of dot markers on the board it looks like this maybe a fretless that has been fretted?

"[color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]From what I can gather the original fretboard was replaced. As the end of the neck is signed LF and dated for Nov 76." (ebay message)[/font][/color] [color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]However it could explain why a previous winner of this bass on ebay never completed the sale.
