dustandbarley Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) FOR SALE OR TRADE FOR A BAREFACED GENERATION 3 SUPER MIDGET [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hello[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As part of a major clear out, here we have my:- [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][b][u]1977-78 Fullerton Fender Telecaster with added double Jazz pickup [/u][/b][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]S701203 USA Fender Telecaster refinished (I think) in red with 3 bolt neck and maple fingerboard. Weight is 10lbs.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]As far as I am aware, red was not a fender colour for the Telecaster basses of this era, so my guess is it has been refinished at some point, although the refinish is showing some cracking with age. There are several cracks in the paint running horizontally along the body on both the front and back of the bass. Other than that, the bass is in very good condition for a bass of its age with minimal knocks or scratches. [/color][/font] Previously a single coil jazz pickup had been added to the bass, but this was no match for the mighty neck hum bucker. i took the bass to [url="http://www.simscustom.com/html/home.htm"]Martin Sims[/url] for a re-fret, and whilst there I asked him to route a hole for a double jazz hum bucker wound using [color=#6A6A6A][font=arial, sans-serif][b]Formvar[/b][/font][/color] wire by [url="http://www.armstrongpickups.co.uk"]Aaron Armstrong[/url]. The double jazz is a fantastic pickup and matches the neck pickup better than its predecessor. The controls are wired Vol / Vol / Tone, with three way mini toggle switches - Single Coil / Series / Parallel - for each pickup giving an extended versatility to this bass. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I live in Ashford Kent, and you are welcome to come to try the bass. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There is no hard case for this - the one in the photos is display purposes only, so pick up / meet up is preferable although courier is possible at buyers expense. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more, or before I change my mind and run off to join a dub reggae band.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Here are the pics:-[/font][/color] [url="https://flic.kr/p/KBFgrz"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/KBF7Up"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/JFcm8X"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/KbvC6f"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/KuGiet"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/KBF5RM"][/url] Thanks for looking Edited August 12, 2016 by dustandbarley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredders Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 That's a great price and a nice mod, too. I'd be all over this if I didn't have 2 Telebasses already. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
