Geez, I'm proud n'humble. But Dave has a great memory - the bass mostly sat in its case between 1973 and 1997. I know my younger brother played it a bit in the 70's, but how much I dunno.
I will say that since I like the sound of this bass with these strings, I've decided that strings are forever until they break. If I like 'em, I just keep 'em on.
Here it is.
Here's the headstock - and yes, you purists, it's not a '63 neck, it's a '72 neck because the truss rod broke in the original neck, and I had to re-neck it for a gig the next day.
Anyone know what brand of flats used this color of silk wrapping back in the late 60's / early 70's? They seem to last pretty darn well!
