martthebass Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) [quote name='drewie' post='370168' date='Jan 4 2009, 06:13 PM']Did yours have a RW board & Tort guard?[/quote] No, it was the standard 57, white (single ply pickguard) and maple board. Quite probably the best bass I've ever owned and it was a snip at £202 back in 1982. Regarding the knobs, they weren't 'fully' rounded - just not the flat tops like are on my MIA 2004 P bass. Semirounded? edit: Just had a look at the bigger pics on the ebay auction - yup, mine were deffo like those.

stevie Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I've had a 1982 '57 JV from new and the knobs are rounded, not flat. For what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewie Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Just a heads-up for any interested basschatters - 1 hr 30 mins left to go on my JV, currently at £395, so it's already heading out of my door... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
