SX SPB-57 Precision Bass (3/3)

The One That Got Away

Here is a Montaya that sold on eBay not long ago, for about $40. It looks very clean, probably spent most of its life under a bed.

I remember the real wood thumbrest. Take that, Fender !!! I think these things were actually made in the USA.

If I had seen this go up for sale, I probably would have gone after it, just for nostalgia. But the truth is, the SX is a much better instrument.

I picked all the scrap pieces out of the trash for this cool picture

This is a body made from 2x2 Radiata pine from Home Depot. This material is actually 1-1/2" square and gives you a choice of tight grain on two opposing sides and loose feathery grain on the other two sides. This is the tight grain.
