Post by spongebob »

Has anyone seen this on Ebay?

Is this a faker, or seriously modified?

Looks modified. I like the refin color, but I'd proberly like it much more without the active circuit mod. But I couldn't play it anyway since it's backwards. :mrgreen:

I'll have to add "proberly" to my "internetese" list right next to "prolly". The English language seems to be under "reconstruction" these days........... :shock:

that lefty has serious overhang with that upper horn ! the bassdukes purple '72 ish (or whatever year it is) has better proportions. i noticed the upper horn started to move from usual at about 1974.
