If the wood had nice figure or not, it didn't really matter. You might want to confirm that if you inted to bid, but I'm pretty sure it's correct. I think the seller has highlighted fairly clearly the issues with the bass. I think it might be what he claims. It would be nice to see the back of the pickups and the stamps on the pots just to get some further information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 That logo was used between about 67-68 until 76 according to The Fender Bass-an illustrated history. And have you ever seen a set of tuners so clean on an old bass. Having said that, they could be genuine. And that strap button on the back-Ibanez. Am I the only person who thinks that there appears to be a lot of 60`s/70`s Fender basses appearing? Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
