dubby Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Hi Folks My '73 Fender Telecaster Bass, I have decided to sell. (see attached photos) To finance a Bass rig purchase. I bought this Bass in '83 for its deep tone (Humbucker on neck), as I am a Reggae Bassman. When I bought it, it had a white scratchplate. I replaced it with a black one which really suits it. Apart from that it is all origenal. A solid no-nonsense Bass in perfect working order. A rare item indeed. £1400 Tom (Dubby) O'Malley Tel : 01205 260611 or 07973 789790 Edited April 12, 2010 by dubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 That is lovely! I can't see it hanging around long. I'm half tempted myself but must resist! Is that strung with black nylons or are they just the original strings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I can almost hear it! I love those Rotosound strings too - have them on my USA 60th Anniversary P-bass. My wife and I did briefly discuss me buying this but, and I quote her, "no, no, no, no, no!" which was more a comment on me then your bass!

Thornybank Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Which profile neck is it? I had one the same back then with a neck that matched my '72 P-bass. Seen others with deep C clubby profiles. Man, I miss it... brand new condition with white plate. An Edinburgh shop called and said a guy forom Switzerland was depsatate for one, so I allowed it to be owned in a Tokai tweed case for £375. I had paid £325, so I let it go. Sob.

Schnozzalee Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I had a Lynyrd Skynyrd tape when I was 5 n I played it over n over till it died. Still got the worn out bit o card from inside n its got a picture of Leon Wilkeson recording with one o these, always remember it. If I were to get a tele bass, would have to get the humbucker version. Do you play it wearing a top hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
