Dunno if that helps thought you'd be interested.
To the OP: looks like there are some scrape marks on the back of your headstock where I have a stamped on serial number of 10356. Harris ended up with the company a few years later, and he eventually got into the musical instrument import business. How does that work Eddie Sheehy - May-16-2011, 5:04pm I've noticed that the ending numbers don't necessarily correspond with the starting number of the following year. Two Vega employees, Mike Harris and Burt Fandel, left Vega and formed the Harris-Fandel company in 1937. My serial number is 34869, which appears to be after the last number for 1918 and before the first number for 1919.
I can't bring myself to put on a fresh set, these sound so cool! I know it's been 3 years, but any more info would be most welcome. My old 60s Fandel Jet has history connected to Vega Guitars. got it back from a friend recently with totally dead strings, and it's so old-school sounding I can barely stand it. Added a Hipshot Xtender Key and had the electronics redone (volume pan tone). And that's my bass! Mahogany body, double P pickups (they might be DiMarzios actually, no clue if that's stock or if I'm just lucky), neck solid and straight as an arrow, Epiphone bridge, sounds better than many $1000 basses out there (I paid $80 used), might even sound better than my friend's '62 P. Just decided to do a little more research on this bass I have, as previous attempts have been fruitless. The Vega Company was a musical instrument manufacturer that started operations in Boston, Massachusetts in 1881.
