Initial thoughts are that it is possibly slightly lighter than my 78, nicely set-up, the nut width is a bit wider and that it currently has flats on it (whether they stay is another matter). It seems to play nicely, so first impressions are all good. I will put it through an amp when I get a chance later. Also, I need to change the strap buttons, as the previous owner used a different straplock system. I’m gigging this weekend, then on holiday for two weeks. When get I back, I will spend some time playing it properly, maybe even use it on a gig. Then I will decide if I’m going to keep it or move it on, and if I keep it if want to make any changes. First signs are pretty positive! Edited September 9 by peteb 8 Quote

First signs are pretty positive! Congrats on the new bass. You have my lusted 78 fender. Ash body maple fretboard. Man that must have some attitude . It’s going to be hard to compete with that as it’s sonically unique (Bart pickups 😍) with the added nut width and profile. Edited September 11 by soulstar89 1 Quote
