BarnacleBob Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 This didnt attract any interest at all - which I am surprised - am I missing something?

bigthumb Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Look at the logo, all wrong! Everything else looks ok. Otherwise a nice bass which could do with the proper decal applied by somebody who knows what their doing.

warwickhunt Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Is it your bass? Just my initial observations but... the body looks as though it has been stripped/refinished at some point, the upper strap button has been moved, it's had a refret and IMHO doesn't have any real 'kerb appeal'. I'm not saying the bass is a 'wrong un' but I'd not rush out to buy it even if it were cheaper. Just my thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Sold now though. I had a mate who had a 73 tele bass that he couldn't get rid of. It was ex-Oasis and wound up going for a mere £800. He tried selling with 0 feedback and it looked dodgy but was 100% legit. Someone grabbed a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 +1 re: the logo. Without knowing the reason it has been changed, it sets the alarm bells ringing. Might be a worthy investment for someone who has a few quid spare and wants a TV-era P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnacleBob Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 No not mine, i had it in my watch list just to see what happened - it's a sunburst i am after. Fenders are a mystery to me, I would like a nice vintage precision but, as you can tell, I would probably get stiffed if the neck had been totally refinished could that just be botched replacement decal?

The neck and tuners are correct for the pre '73 type. I think its a lovely bass which just needs a little sorting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
