Original owner bought it new in 1971 and NEVER learned to play bass. I removed the original flatwound strings...This thing is a KILLER!!!!!!

I even thought of converting my very battered '76 Bird to a one pick up white one. But she's pretty as she is... Maybe I buy a newer Bird once, mount one chrome pick up and fill the hole, remove one volume pot, fill that hole too, refinish it. Maybe. Once.
