ped Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 My 66 has a hootenanny strap button but it’s missing so now there’s just a hole. Anyone know where to get one, I think they’re a bit different to a regular strap button and the screw must be different too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I'm currently checking out a 1970 Jazz, refin in LPB. Is it possible to have a Jazz from 1970 with 60's bridge pickup spacing? I believe Fender switched somewhere in '70 or '71? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds possible to me, most of the info says it changed about 1970 , so a transition time could probably have either, I’d have thought they overlapped at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think people played board games much these days, drones however are a good seller I'd think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
