OldGit Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) Edited as I've come to terms with selling the pickup too .. I think now would be a good time to sell the bits I have from my original 1962 Fender Precision with the pound being so weak Vs the dollar. However I thought I'd list them here first in case there's someone on the forum who fancies them. So, from a 1962 Precision, L prefix serial number Pictures later but the list is Pickup Spiral bridge for Fender Precision or Fender Jazz [color="#FF0000"](Sold)[/color] String tree Strap pegs (2) Bridge cover (large holes) Pickup cover (possibly aftermarket) (large holes) Tortoiseshell Scratchplate (cut into 5 pieces yeah, yeah I know. That's it in my avatar) Finger pull / thumb rest and screws Various screws - looks like 4 bridge screws and 4 others. These are all genuine and were removed from the bass by me in the 70's when I upgraded various bits. I'll be looking for serious money, I'm afraid, as I have been tracking similar items on eBay for a year or so .. No, sorry I don't have the bass or neck with "the funk" scratched into it ... Mine was white originally anyway. PM please if you are interested. This is what it, and I, looked like back then. I also have an 80's re-issue spiral bridge if anyone fancies that for £50 (sold) Edited May 4, 2010 by OldGit

No problem: Ric 4001, same amp and cab, dodgy shirt and more flares, quite possibly Mister Buyright high waisters which were The Dogs at the time ...

A lot less individualism ... Judo drummer has three arms in one pic and has a nice 70's blocks jazz stickin out of his side too .. Clever man That's not me, by the way, we've only played together for the last 20 years
