Congrats Matt. I had a feeling that would have been a snag. I got your twin... 100% original

Mine has all the original hardware: ashtrays, thumb-rest, strap buttons from the bass. It was purchased a few years ago from a lefty collector that passed away.

Beautiful

Graves, the grain pattern on that body is outrageous. It looks almost like it's a one piece body.

Hey AzWhoFan.... Nope, its 3 piece body. Just the seams are really good on it. It's surprisingly well picked. My 74' J looked like 1 piece and at first I thought it was. But nope, they glue the bodies.

Not to derail Matt's new baby. Did you see his in the link he posted? Damn beautiful. These are fantastic LOUD passive basses and glad Matt snagged this one at Elderly. Saved me the "savings account" pull to get another for future resale value. :lol:

Another beauty! But every time you post a photo taken on that deck ledge it makes me nervous. :lol:

Luckily those 70's Fenders are tough enough to drive a nail with.

No derail intended. Let's hoist some brewski's in Matt's honor!!!!

I'll hoist brewskis for all of us. And dammit, quit putting your basses on ledges like that. You're taking years off my life every time I see that shit. :shock:
