LewisK1975 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Just come across this online - Wondering if this could be considered normal from a 70's Fender? Part of the Logo is actually under the string tree! BTW I am not suggesting in any way, shape or form that this is not a genuine Fender, before anyone launches into me!

ikay Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Not normal no (whatever that means for a 70s Fender ), but here's another 1976 P with a similarly placed logo - [url="https://reverb.com/item/823510-fender-precision-bass-1976-black"]https://reverb.com/i...bass-1976-black[/url] Normal would be more like this - [url="http://www.vintageandrare.com/product/Fender-Precision-Bass-Fretless-1976-Natural-46183"]http://www.vintagean...6-Natural-46183[/url] Edited July 13, 2015 by ikay Quote

Good to know it's not unusual though! Quote

[/quote] Tom Jones used to apply the headstock decals in the mid seventies, when Q.C. asked him if that's the position he normally fitted them Mr. Jones replied...... ..... "It's not unusual!" I didn't even take my coat off! Quote
gary mac Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I've had 70's Fenders with part of the logo under a tuner bushing. Quote
Jono Bolton Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 The logo on Marcus Miller's Jazz was in a similar position and they even used to do the same on the production models. I think they've changed it on the newer ones though. Quote
RhysP Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 It's a '76 - Fender quality control was at an all-time low then. Quote
