CH161 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Up for sale is my vintage 1970 Telecaster Bass with original case. Absolutely superb bass with the chunky C profile neck. Only issue is 3 small holes in the guard and body when the thumb rest was moved by a previous owner to above the E string. Only issue with case is a changed latch and an extra latch put on. This is the earlier Telecaster bass with the single pick up. Not to be confused with the 1972 and later version which is a completely different beast. No changes or modifications except for the extra screw holes. Everything dates to 1970. White guard has mother of pearl on the underside as it should have for this period. £2450 or possible trades with vintage Fender.

CH161 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 I want to thank you all for your comments, quickly, while this is still top of the listings. Don't want to be accused of a premature bumping! It's a lovely bass indeed, and these are getting harder to find in this condition. Cheers guys!
