My first Series! :-)  Sorry, very poor pics, but there will be a pro shoot of all soon :-)  Spalted Walnut?

   Very nice plain back:

  Polished silver logo:

  Wasn't expecting this, old style Schallers on a '79 bass. I think I've seen older ones with the new Schaller style?

  Bass came with a brand new Original G&G case and old "previous blue" box. Also with Original (unmarked) cable and brand new Belden cable (old one with Switchcraft connectors, new one with Neutriks)  

 

 

  This will be refurbished asap, you've got to have a blue box with a Series bass :-)

top and back: Walnut  
body: Mahogany  
neck: Maple and Purpleheart  
scale length: 34 long scale  
fingerboard: Ebony  
inlays: mother of pearl  
birthday: June 21, 1979  
originally made for: not recorded

Nice score!
 
Looks like the power supply has been modded. The one that came with my 1978 Series I does not have a fuse, on and off switch or LED. To be honest I have had the bass and power supply for 30 years and it was just now that I noticed the power supplies have a serial number mine is 1014.

All very beautiful . Congratulations .
 I am very happy for you as well .  
(To avoid any problems however the power supply could use a strain relief on the power cord.)

FC, if you want, I can send you for free a blue box power supply, I have two of them new and never use

Flip,
Really digging this Bass!  
Play it with Power!!!!
Pete

Thanx!
 
Looks like I have to visit the lake area again Pierre-Yves! (you know I prefer personal delivery/pickup) :-)
 
Had the connectors on the cables mixed up, they're all Switchcraft except the female connector on the old cable. That one was replaced with a Neutrik and is a bit noisy (sounds like a loose wire)
 
Wolf: Currently, the strain relief is a knot in the powercable... That will be (must be) improved asap ;-)

 Great . An easy fix might be one of these;

I have a couple of these:

  Installed:

  Also removed the on/off switch, it just didn't look right (safe) to me...

The Heyco strain reliefs work well for this type of application.

By gawd they do have serial numbers on the power supplies! I learn something new all the time on here!

:-)
 
Fixed the original cable, not fun at all (what were the engineers at Neutrik thinking?)
Lost about 2 feet of cable, but it isn't scratchy anymore. :-)

Your strain relief's look great !

In her case:  

  Case actually came with improvement:  

Congrats that's a nice one!
