gjones Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 That is definitely a player's bass. I can't see this being displayed on an accountants office wall, gathering dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ok, aside from the tuners, bridge, pickup(s?), extra string tree, scratchplate, electronics, extra body routing, wood filler in the headstock and paint job - is it a 1963 body? Have the ashtray holes been filled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protium Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I asked him, there was a mix up reading the serial number: it's in the 110000s (1966/67) but was originally incorrectly read as in the L10000s (1963) Edited February 17, 2014 by Protium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
