Modified or original LP Recording Bass?
« on: July 07, 2018, 08:54:47 AM »
I saw this on the local CL. The headstock is not black, and there's no crown inlay. Also has the 60's tuners instead of Schaller M4s.  Is this a modified instrument or an early variant?

I've never seen either of those features before and it also has a dotted i on the Gibson logo.

The logo is a decal instead of MOP.
