How this body compares in size with a "brown Bass" ? or with a Distillate? Do you know? Thanks in advance. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4169 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 5:54 pm:    The body on a Brown Bass is the small standard body. claudio Junior Username: claudio Post Number: 27 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 6:07 pm:    Thanks Dave... Then is this one smaller or bigger than the Brown's small standard body? oggydoggy Intermediate Member Username: oggydoggy Post Number: 147 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 6:56 pm:    Claudio, They are one in the same. The "new" brown bass body is taken from the old Small Standard Series body style. And yes this little one is very tempting. -Ed claudio Junior Username: claudio Post Number: 28 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 8:30 pm:    Thanks Ed!! I wondering if the PF-6 electronics that the seller mentionated are an upgrade from the original electronics, any idea? davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4173 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 9:03 pm:    PF-6 would have been the original on a '78. claudio Junior Username: claudio Post Number: 29 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 10:41 pm:    Thanks Dave!!!
