I found this bass on craigslist about a month ago and at the time didn't have the cash he was asking for it ($225). I did some handiwork for a few neighbors to come up with the cash and a month later, he still had the bass. I bought it from him on Friday and have been playing it nonstop ever since. It plays like a dream and no fender bass that I have touched has even come close to how this feels (minus the fact that they weigh the same). The seller indicated that it is a '77 p bass, but I would love to know more. It has holes near the bridge pickup for what must have been an ashtray cover, but when he bought the bass it was already missing that. Unfortunately, my images are huge and they can't be uploaded directly to the forum. Here are the links.
