Slingerland bass t-rods

Posts: 6287 Threads: 375

Anyone know what year in the sixties the Slingerland bass t-rod handles changed from the style in pic 1 to pic 2?

The first pic is from a '63 bass and the second is a '68.

Thanks all !!

I've got a 1965 BD with t-rods as in pic 1, so that narrows it down a bit more.

Thanks Rocketman !

Now we need a couple from '66 and '67 to chime in, and we may have it done.

I know they're out there !!!

Looks like 66 still used the torpedo T's

Hummm This 68 show's the Torpedo T's too.

Yep, looks that way.... maybe 68-69 was a little transition thing going on there.

69 is really hard to tell in the Slingerland catalog. I tried to blow up the pictures but they just distort.

I was doing that too, but then I remembered Webmaster saying that Slingerland used the same pics in more than one year's catalogs.

OK that explains that. Because I was wondering in some of the 70's catalog's the drums looks the same as in the 60's ones. Thought I was seeing things.DOH
