As some of you know I collect old 50's 60's 70's basses since they are so weird and fun... :wink:

I got my first gold top! Yay ...I recently found this baby and like it very much so decided to share with you guy's, maybe someone else here likes these like me? who knows..

Well she is in very decent shape, here are a few pictures:

She looks real good but also missing 2 pieces.... 1 tuner missing which I will have to replace all since it's a tuner plate for all 4. And for a strange reason I am missing the bridge?? I have the bridge cover but no Bridge?!? Gotta love these situations... :P

After a bit of research I did find what the bridge looks like so if any one finds one or sees one for sale, can you please PM me?

Thanks, here is what the bridge looks like:
