subdude Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I just found this ad on eBay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Vintage-Fender-Telecaster-Bass-1969-/301498042838?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item4632af09d6 (translation into english) A wonderful and very rarely found Fender Telecaster Bass. If you enter the serial number on the neck plate into the Guitar Dater Project, you will find the info that it is a 1969...but no liability. The beauty of this bass is difficult to photograph. The bass was played for decades and it rewards this with a sensational sound. Of course, due to its old age there are signs of use, scratches, dings and dongs and those popular cracks in the paint - just for people who appreciate a beautiful stylish relic/vintage look. As you can see, it is not all original, because the previous owner has fitted a second Fender Vintage pickup so that you have some more sound available.He enlarged the routing for the Telecaster pickup under the cover in a slightly rustic fashion so the pickup can be fitted straight or angeled. The two small switches are not functioning but according to a luthier they can be activated. So, this is a bass for individualists who might want to invest some time into the wiring. If this doesn't bother you and you are looking for a absolute tone monster, search no more. It is an actual dream bass, but the really chunky neck is too "fat" for me. only 2499 euros.

PlungerModerno Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 That's just wrong. Could sound cool - but there was probably a neater way to get there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
