fiatcoupe432 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Looks like this bass used to have a delano xtender pickup .... Horrible horrible headstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I think thats right about the Delano - you can even see the pevious pickup screw hole and they use Delanos in other basses Some peanut head has stuck a silly Mighty Mite in place of the original I quite like some of the builds though ..the Corto, Fusion and Sparrow [url="http://www.birdsongguitars.com/birdsong-guitars"]http://www.birdsongg...irdsong-guitars[/url] Edited February 11, 2017 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
