Some Pics of my '71 FG

I tried to embed them, but they're slightly large so I'll just link 'em

Please excuse the quality - I didn't have much time to spend on it -

That bad, eh?

Ahhh, the 21-fretter! She's a beauty Bob! Nice pictures too. You gotta hold on to that one.

Friday nights can be slow, many are out on gigs. Or they have lives!

Nice faker! I'll take it off your hands to avoid you any further embarrassment.

Beauty, where did you find her.

Beauty, where did you find her.

I bought it from the original owner in '94. He worked in the studio we were recording in - he bought it in high school and gigged it for a few years, then kind of morphed into a keyboard player. My camera doesn't do macro so I couldn't get a closeup of the frets, but they're really pretty good.

Very nice!

Bob,

Vry nice - I have a late 71 or early 72 that looks a lot like yours (fireglo / walnut wings / no stripe)
-right down to the mix/match grovers

I don't have any extra frets or anything - not like i'd use 'em.

Wow, that one's a keeper!

Nice, Bob. Thanks for the pics. Beautiful bass.

Switch looks like a replacement to me. And what's the green stuff on the back of the switch and wiring? Kinda looks like chewing gum!

Ditto my Feb 72, although mine's much darker fireglo.

I feels like some sort of soft putty. The switch works OK, so I've left well enough alone.

Wow,

VERY SWEET!

I got shafted on my March '71, no extra fret.

Bob, nice 21er!
