Got this bass a few weeks ago from Chris at Pick Of The Ricks...it's a 1986, plays and sounds great! Has a few finish cracks but still in great shape for its age... Jon

'86? Wow! Thats an early one.

would be interested to know what type of HS bobbin is on that one - pic?

Congrats, Jon! That does look like a RI horseshoe, not an earlier magnetic shoe pickup, right?

Gah, I wanted that one. It's a great bass (despite the unfortunate Pascoe Provenance) - enjoy it.

I believe this bass is all original, no reissue parts.

I'm very partial to mapleglo "S" basses..
Nice finish checking too!

Looks like a true 60's headstock on that baby...

GR8 looking bass!

What I meant by RI is the new type of horseshoe pickup vs. the vintage '60s type.

O, ic....yeah, seems like the headstock is exta long! Love it!

WOW

Congrats and enjoy it, Jon!

Sure was! Make sure you give it a good scrub-down, Jon.
