Machine Heads
Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2014 1:07 pm
Hello El Degas forumers.
I am new to the forum and look forward to learning a ton. I recently received a Japaneese made early 70s El Degas bass; It looks a lot like a p-bass. I have seen other photos of them around. It is Ivory in color and has the string and bridge guards as well as a thumb rest. The thing I am desperately looking for to complete the guitar is an original machine head. The one that was on there broke and I would love to find a replacement. The remaining original ones (i think they are original, there are no other holes drilled or old ones filled in) are kind of a dull finish but the peg itself is chromed. I also have a question about whether or not the V & T pots are original. If anyone has any photos of a complete original, I would love to use them as a comparison. Thanks everyone.
