The 21 fret inlay can only have been put there by a previous owner, period.
Now, welcome to the '21 fret 4001 club', Ken! 'JK', eh? Can you tell us the serial number? My November '70 Fireglo 21 fretter is JK 340. And it is one hell of a player, just like my August '70 21 fretter.

Sergio, that is a lovely example. Grant's is always good to see too..
Ken....work ahead! Are you going to keep it a Fireglo or take it back to MG....
JK was the serial number of the bass that I nearly bought back in 2002. That serial number is only a few from Sergio's...
