Been following this since it was posted elsewhere: Tele Bass at Goodwill (http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/1970s-Fender-Telecaster-Bass-Guitar-w-Hard-Case-8196486.html)
The headstock has been shortened, the tuners are touching each other with the G tuner running over the edge, and the lighter wood on the back of the headstock probably means it's been thinned. And it "may need some additional repairs/tune ups." It's not a fake, but if it didn't have some kind of major problem, how did it wind up at Goodwill?
And yet it's $1200 with 2 days left. ???
$1,200 is way to much for that bass.
OMAHA!? Under my own nose too...

No kidding. And I forgot to mention the DiMarzio Model One, which isn't bad but isn't original either.
Holy crap! Sold for $2,601! :o
Geeze I paid $650 for my '79
