Bought mine in 1976 off a frat brother for $80. All stock except the tuners had been switched out with some off an acoustic guitar. The originals were easily bent, so not surprising. It had seen some playing time, the neck pickup's top edge is rounded off. I put some Schallers, a brass nut and a Leo Quah bridge on it. Plenty of tones thru my Vibro Champ with an Orange Squeezer. Anyone who I ever let play it offered to buy it. Still have it all these decades later, and still no checking.
I want to say Gibson made a bass with this body shape in like 2019 or so, but I think it was just called the Gibson DC. Came in black, blue, read, and white. I could be wrong but I believe that is correct.
@@CompanyGrip I looked it up, Gibson Les Paul Junior Tribute DC Bass came out in 2019. it had one humbucker in the bridge and was available in worn finishes. like open pore finish, the colors were Brown, Cherry, Ebony, White, TV Yellow, and a blue satin finish one as well.
it says joins body at the 16th fret right on the literature? edited to say if you are going to sell that please reply here and let me know how we can discuss it. This is my Birthday year guitar and so far the favorite one i have came across!
Thanks for checking it out! While I do sell some of the guitars I review, I’m afraid this is one of my favorites and not for sale. But, yes, you should definitely buy a 1965-66 Melody Maker D. They rock!
