my pleasure Sly, that's why we're here isn't it?

Does this bass have checkerboard binding? I cannot tell from the pic on the auction.

From what I gather, I believe the horseshoe pickup was replaced by the higain treble pickup in 1968.

"We have a long standing policy to not publish complete serial numbers"

... mmm reminds me of a classic quote used by another lefty rickenbacker seller.

... i never unterstood well this way of talking : not disclosing the full sn sounds suspicious to me

if you add (in this case) that you can't see the bass in person ... boh
