Okay, I received the bass today. Strung it up, played nice, sounds nice, Just needs a little bit of restoration...ok a LOT. The headstock repair reminds me of Jaco's bass. It's definitely secure. However, i need some parts-saddles were slightly machined-need 4 saddles if any one has one or two that is fine I'll take it. Acorn nuts (I know Hard to find) 2 5/16-24 thread nickel post for the bridge. brass shield, thumb rest, 1 strap peg..and lots of screws. it's definitely and early '65, most of the parts are nickel, some are chrome. Judging by the lack of neck angle, as i know the early ones had the necks set straight as opposed to a slight angle. Oh, I need 2 1965 Pots. but mainly...I need saddles. Any body want to dump their old bird bridge or saddles, call me at 773-259-6926. I would be willing to pay a fair price. thanks!
