Classic bass. 70's Jetglo... like my first Ric. Welcome!

Is it all original or did you have the bass-cut capacitor bypassed?

Hi ilan, completely original, including case.

But the dull sound was my biggest drawback at first... Then I bypassed the capacitor, since I learned that on a forum; I got a new sound back!! Ever since then, the sound has become great. I'm doing some homerecording at the moment and I'm working on a stereo jack to two cinch connectors, for recording in stereo. Then put the two signals a bit out of pan... see how it sounds!!

Cheers!
