I am editing the plate and I will put volume and tone buttons, since it does not come with the tablets connected directly.

similarly his model is thin, which leaves without understanding why it is so heavy, the person who sold it to me did not know how to give reason of the mark of origin

I'm not an expert, but I'd guess it may be a Teisko or something of that ilk. There are others more knowledgeable that I that can argue that point, though.

Does the paint look professionally done? I have a sneaking suspicion that it's been refinished. It's not a perfect match, but It looks like an EARLY Ibanez copy of a Dan Armstrong, like 1971 or so. It's the same headstock as used as a lot of the other Ibanez's of the time, and given that models changed from day to day, it's pretty likely they just grabbed a 30" neck and threw it on.



The more photos you take, the easier it'll be to confirm it. Either way, super sweet bass! I'd love a project like that.

^Yeah, you need to get a look under that finish, especially before you start drilling holes.

Give this site a look through. I didn't realize how many copies of the Dan Armstrong basses there are.

I don't think you're gonna get an exact year. I'd say its 70 or 71, since even the Armstrong wasn't around long.

If you're interested in completely stripping the paint, I'd try something like isopropyl alcohol.

yes thanks about alcohol hisopropyl alcohl or another , n get readi to pulish or sometyhing like that...

some times the youg people get a heritage vintage instrument n and they do not know the value, going to modify them without meaning
