OMG!! I haven't seen a Hagstrom bass like that in so many years. I wanted one of those things back in the 60's but my folks just wouldn't go for it at the time. That brings back so many memories of high school dances. I wouldn't care if the thing was only worth fifty cents. I'd do everything I could to restore that beauty. The Hagstrom bass was the Fender bass of Europe while the Fender bass was the Hagstrom of the US.
BTW, that big old dummy pickup cover in the middle is a late 60's Gibson EB-O pickup cover. It contained the biggest, most powerful single coil pickup ever made. It looks like a Humbucker but it has only one coil wound 25,000 times with copper wire It had that deep window breaking volume and tone. Please post pictures when you get it done. Good luck.
