Look more like refinished shells. Believe Wildwood shells would have Dayton tags, not Cleveland. Mine have Dayton tags, and do the pair of toms on ebay at the moment. Full set on ebay do not mention tags.

Wow, That set sold on Goodwill a few weeks ago for 112.00. I went up to 101.00 for the set with all the mod's and missing parts.....Mikey

Vinny,

I think this deserves more than a life sentence. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this bass has no other mount holes except this Tama double mount, and since a Rogers Top Hat double mount would have been closer toward the front hoop in between the lugs, it appears this bass was originally a virgin bass!

Mike: yep, you are correct! Are there any eternal type of sentence? one that goes beyond earthly life?LoLoLoLo Hope Jack (The Ploughman) chimes in about the Wildwood issue...

Yup. Nailed it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-Wildwood-V-Acoustic-Purple-Blue-Rare-EX-/160940421844?pt=Guitar&hash=item2578cbf2d4

425 and there all yours. W free Tama mount. He he.

Not mine lol

Yes, it is a bummer that Tama HW was drilled into it (them)....but it is not THAT big of a deal. All that means is that they won't be able to get back to original condition. Someone ought to snag these up (perhaps for only $300) and wrap them.....extra holes/filled holes/new holes are accomodatable (sp?) with a wrap job.

Perhaps that has you thinking a little different about it? Ask yourself - You have any extra Rogers HW laying around?

John

I wouldn´t put Tama hardware on a Rogers myself - at least not today.

But back in say 1983, I probably would´ve. It works, unlike the dreadful Rogers of the period that kills ALL resonance in the shells while giving limited adjustment possibilities.

So see it from the sunny side - this hardware works, and makes the kit very affordable.

Buy to play!

If i recall right in the listing on goodwill it did say the two mounted toms were 12"....Mikey
