I have owned a lot of basses although never any of the boutique variety. This is an amazing instrument. Hopefully with Dave Houck's help I've got the picture thing figured out.

My 76 s/n 399 laquer has begun to crack length wise aft of the bridge. Is your head stock black? faivy Junior Username: faivy Post Number: 32 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2006 - 9:59 am:    Thanks! I have lacquer cracking all over the bass, kind of like black lines. Yes the headstock is black.
