[color=#000000]"At the head of the guitar is a veneer with the silver letter,, W ,, I think the head looks much better but if anyone wants to can remove the veneer , under is the orginal logo,,Rockbass,,."[/color] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]I think it[size=4] looks god [/size][/color][size=4][color=#000000]awful personally.

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Looks like Icelandic to me. so [color=#232321]Svartidaudi? or [/color][color=#232321]Sólstafir? or [/color][color=#232321]Angist? or Skalmold? Album wise wouldn't have a clue only album i know is Svartir Sandar and it's not that.[/color][/font][/size]

All looks fine i think. Bit of a bargain for anyone in the area.

They still make them, albeit with scratch and control plate. http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/jb62_allblk.html

[/quote] ^ This. Looks to be the open grain of wenge to me. If anyone is willing to take the trip that could be one hell of a bargain.

I used to have one of these and they are indeed incredibly heavy. Alright sounding but huge neck on them.

D'Arcy Wretzky, i used to have such a soft spot for her but oh how the mighty have fallen. There's your "don't do drugs kids" advert right there.

I wouldn't say the neck was that unusual standard early 90s energy. The odd thing is the pickup mod that has been done. http://www.statii.com/status_cats/adverts/energy_nov_1991/energy_advert_nov_1991.jpg

If the pup's are duncan designed rather than actual duncans, which would link in with the Lic. trem, then its a Dinky. Depending on condition price is about right. If the pup's are Duncans then the bridge should be an original Rose, both in the Soloist model of that era if that's the case its probably a good buy at that price. Best bet is play it see if you like it. The neck might be a big difference from the L59. L59's go for anywhere from 150-250 depending on condition/colour/upgrades etc. They might do a swap if your lucky.

I like the tag line on his profile "[color=#333333]I am honest, professional and reliable.", seems like something an honest professional and reliable person would say.[/color]

[quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1404306264' post='2491365'] Here's my current configuration, it will stay like this at least fir this summer's gigs. [/quote] Sorry for being either ignorant or just plain blind but what do you use for power distribution?

Lots of issues of both Digital Photo and Olive Magazine probably 2 years worth of both at least will try and sort to get a better idea and dates to give an idea. Collection from Salford Quays or could post small numbers for postage cost.

I should probably add that i wasn't actually questioning if its genuine or not. I just don't know enough about them and thought it was odd to have 1p starting bid with no reserve, or maybe not worth as much as i expected.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1402991069' post='2478507'] Shish kebab. Serial number 0008, Fender '52 P. I imagine BC's Rick would be up for that if he could sell a kidney .... [/quote] Did the P serials start from 0001? I know the first 100 or so Strats had serials starting 0100 in '54.
