I understood, i think to use mash knits in seal brown or middle brown. I get one of each and i will choose. Where do you live ?

North America...Too bad the shipping will be more than the cuffs are worth.

The original cuffs are at least worth salvaging and keeping with the Jacket, just save them special.

As a guitar player, when I buy a used vintage guitar, I like it when the seller keeps all the original parts with the guitar!

Same as anything.

LOL....Not quite 'same'...Think more straight out of the dumpster:

This is what my bass 'should' look like:

The 1978 bass was in a sad state when I got it. I completely rebuilt it.

I have a few guitar projects I'm well over budget and miles from the finish line...The point when aftermarket parts started using metric measurements is a big issue. finding good vintage parts, just as well a huge challenge.

Your bass looks fantastic.

Yes it is ! Thank you
It took a while to find all the parts and finish it. I couldn't find good pickup and finally got one custom made by Nordstrand Pickup from USA.
