dodgnofski Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Has anyone ever seen an ‘extra’ screw in the pick guard on a ‘60’s P Bass - in line with the tug bar screws? Seller claims he has had the Bass from new. The only thing I can think of is that it was added to correct warping maybe? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225146957462?

ash Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 That’s definitely an addition and possibly as a result of warping. I’ve looked at this listing a few times, it was listed twice at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I noticed that too, it’s been relisted quite a few times, was first up for 7k i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I doubt it would have been added to correct warping as it is so close to existing screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Did some old tug bars have a single center screw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgnofski Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 The seller had two listings running at the same time - one at £5,700 & one at £7,000? I asked a few questions and he was very unfriendly, actually saying that he thought I was a ‘scammer’!! When I asked the history of the P he said he had used it with Count Basie, Dionne Warwick, 10cc and AC/DC😂😂!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Count Basie/DC perhaps? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The pickguard looks amazing. The wallpaper and duvet cover not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehandclapping Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 My vote is extra screw,if he had it from new he has probably forgotten he did it😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I see, was looking in the wrong area. It's definitely got the two screws for the tug bar in the right place but as others have said, the one slightly off middle looks newer too. 1960 onward P's all had two screw tugbars, it was the older style P that had the one screw up to 1956ish.
