This is the second oldest guitar I own. I purchased this in a small music shop in Ellensburg Washington back in 1989. It cost $200 back in 1988, which was all I could afford as a college-student. A single split-pickup and volume and tone knob. The only problem was I had ruined the original neck by removing the frets. So i purchased a new neck from Warmoth, which is a mongrel design, a Jazz-Bass neck taper, with Telecaster bass headstock. This was partially because it reminded me of Tele bass model John Paul Jones played in the early 70s. It sounds rattier than it did before, but I’ve come to like the quality and use it when I need a more thinner, more Rickenbacker like sound.
Unique Feature(s): Split pickup
