Stub Mandrel Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Sorry this isn't vintage, but I thought it might be of interest that Fender were giving attention to neck (and pocket) marks in 2022, perhaps a little too enthusiastically? Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 I make that 15 or 16 different marks or stickers! And no, none of them match the serial number... Quote
Reggaebass Posted May 31, 2023 Author Posted May 31, 2023 Bassbros have got some nice precisions in at the moment , 76, 77 ,79 2 Quote
ossyrocks Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Would anyone like to discuss this one? The logo? 42mm nut? The title says the case is from 1965, but it clearly isn't. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175754892735?hash=item28ebced5bf%3Ag%3AS-IAAOSw6xNkegOI&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4ImxXlqXSv5HNgHDmUyoUww6f2ygiyT1TDoJvZn7zkInlV0GNlWvrOCv5isJn99yGuJPusdjCIT4%2BYeiBZqPM6MtyP3zeZ4foAKk6d0RVSsweLjSyekMrKEAoC7hggVRdGi8tu08ArQ%2BYvZ65Kk6if47jCk8kpR%2BQ4NX9qSw0vDoqFQL81E2BE4KMYqGQYuZM1yOTAieKL55Kj8lAjKwYpP2UHJQymbdpfJb2x1pgB%2FjULrWGvU%2FAQA%2B2X%2Ba8shfhDyfu7vYMHvEkfiIB6e77OBgf%2BDXWMIUtPQ%2FJgRSO071|tkp%3ABk9SR7iD25OQYg&LH_ItemCondition=4 Rob Edited June 3, 2023 by ossyrocks 1 Quote
Woodinblack Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 why is it a univeral thing that people who want £15000 for an instrument can't actually take an in focus photo? 3 1 Quote
Reggaebass Posted June 3, 2023 Author Posted June 3, 2023 Looks like a mid - late 70s case looking at the ,made in USA under the fender badge, and the headstock decal is nothing I’ve ever seen before , maybe changed when it was refinished , and all the 60s ones I’ve seen were 44mm nut width, be interesting to see the neck date which should be pencil Quote
diskwave Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 Interesting but its on the cusp at that price. Headstocks been shaved, decal obviously wrong. Orig paint?, cant be sure. Too many red flags for that money. 1 Quote

msb Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 At the time people would say the heavy ones sounded the best. I remember people bragging about how heavy their basses were. Quote
