Hi Folks,
Been trolling quite a bit in the past few weeks absorbing as much info as I could form this forum. Thanks for sharing. This weekend I just acquired a 66 SF bass. Seems to be in great condition. Serial number is in the mid 400s. Its the sound Ive been looking for and never found until now (slow learner). Sounds great from the start so I am trying to put to sleep, thoughts of modding at this point, as its all original I was told. There is 1 philip heads screw holding the G string saddle, so I guess almost all original. Only issue at this point is the bisonic pickup is slightly movable in the casing..ie If I turn the bass sideways or upside down it moves causing a sound as well thru the amp. Was there the typical foam under the pickup or what might have loosened to allow it to move ? Thanks for any feedback - JC
