I have seen bridge pickup surrounds with sharp edges like the one on this '73, but I recall seeing them on earlier basses....many of them with 1971 and '72 serial numbers. Having said that, I think it's very possible that this one is original to the bass, despite it's later production...YMMV.

YMMV?

'Your Mileage May Vary'.....but a better phrase to apply in this instance may be 'there are no absolutes'....

If you find one of those sharp cornered models at a dealer they tack on another $300- its one of those "rare features".

This is a pic of a 73' BG I played last year while recording...It had a toaster, CHB binding, no full MOP... but check out the sharp edges of the pickup surround...

Hi Darren!
Thank you that you thought of me, but I was in China, not checking the forum. That one is gone.
