Whoa, that's a beaut! Those pickups sound great and are positioned perfectly on those pickguard version X640's, on the non-pickguard version they put the pickups too close to the bridge (in my humble opinion). Is that thumb rest original?? Congratulations, Mike.


P.S. to get the image to show up, put the url between the two image commands that pop up when you click the ' Img ' button on the edit screen:

Thanks guys. I bought that bass new on April 3rd 1982, paid $390.00, I still have the receipt. I sold it to a guy I new and he had it for several years, when I found out that he was getting married and needed money I called him and asked if he would sell it back and he did. I regreted every minute I was without it. On a sad note it does't look as good as it does in the pic, he beat it up pretty good. At least I got it back.
I put the thumb rest on it soon after I bought it.
Thanks for the tip on posting pics, I'll post a pic of my 2278 soon.

Thanks again,
Mike
