Beedster Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Totally normal for that model, bridge weighed about the same as the rest of the bass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Too lazy to check up in my Fender book before posting I then looked it up and as you say , standard Elite and as the seller describes, missing the fine tuners on the Schaller bridge. Even has the adjustable neck pitch hole in the neck plate. Not sure if it is walnut ( looks a bit light) but those must have had some heft!

ash Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It weighs 5.2kgs I just got a message from the seller - ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I had a walnut one. It was gorgeous, but every time I picked it up my spine compressed half-an-inch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 These don't come up often. Anyone got an idea if the active circuit on these was anything like the later Precision Special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbish or not, they'd be valubale for resale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 'of their time', these things. I can see how those threads would get stripped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
