Isn't that the factory finish for that bass? They should throw in a free chisel and chainsaw in case you want to add to the ambience....

glad you got the bass you wanted. i do wonder how the idea of a reliced dusty hill bass came about. all the basses i've seen him with are pretty clean looking, although i did see one with the wear marks above the pickup.

That is one of the coolest looking basses I have ever seen. If it plays as good as it looks, you've got a bass for life.

I love it! I love the Tele headstock in general, having it reversed works for me too. I do like the black one much better than the gold one.

I put a lefty neck on my Jazz bass (which is also sporting PJ pickups and currently isn't working). Where did Dusty get the idea?

nofi

people have been doing that since the sixties both to basses and guitars.

I gather Glenn Cornick did it out of necessity as he wore out the frets on his Jazz bass. Clearly a lefty neck in the Rock and Roll Circus video, but by 1969 he had another neck on there with a weird headstock.  :-\
