Fender Basses / Re: '74 Tele project and another Vintera II Tele Bass
« Last post by Alanko on May 15, 2024, 02:54:04 PM »A question for Mr Dasson.
Did the Vintera pickguard have the same screw hole pattern as the vintage body? I want a black pickguard on my Vintera Tele bass and my usual pickguard supplier only has a 1974 Tele bass pickguard template on file. They've sent me a PDF of it, but it might be a faff to reprint it at scale as the scan is in two parts and looks like a photograph of a pickguard sitting on a cutting mat. A user on Talkbass suggests a good number of the pickguard screw holes are in different positions, based on their own investigations, per: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/71-79-telecaster-bass-with-wrhb-pickup-recreation-with-twists.1650654/

Gibson Basses / Blue Sparkle Epi Thunderbird
« Last post by TBird1958 on May 15, 2024, 12:18:05 PM »The new Epiphone Blue Sparkle Bird. I can't seem to get a good shot of it though. It's actually very pretty and in certain light is a beautiful sapphire blue color, kind of like a Bombay Gin bottle...............I like the neck on these better than the previous Indonesian made version.

The Raven was good, true.
