Lightbulb Gears..

FYI, those are NOT the Gears we/I put on those basses. Those are Shaller and they are also Upside Down. The screw hole goes on the bottom, not th top.

We were using Gears made by Gotoh for several years before I produced this model.

if you look at the end of the fingerboard and on the label, you will see the serial number. It will be 2xx, made in 1985-87 or so. The date is on the label as well.

Wait, let me think.... Ok, your serial number is ... 268 and made in 1987. The date is in the back plate. I don't have date records from that far back.

Also, you need TCRM strings to sound its best. Be good to your bass!
