Hi Timothy, this is a very nice "Oldie"! Can you tell us something about the woods of your wife? Best wishes from Germany Harald |

You have one of those nice early basses with the screw through the hum cancellor. That intrigues me. I love it! |

Guten Tag Harald and Aloha to everyone! Wife is made of California walnut and maple and the body is semi-hollow which helps on those long sets. If you look closely at the pickups, you'll see the wear spots I've created with my thumb over the years. I've created a small pit over the hum-cancel pickup and it's my main ID for the wife. You're all welcome to play around with my wife but only if I can watch! |
