What brand of bass is Ricky Schroder holding in Silver Spoons?
Re: What brand of bass is Ricky Schroder holding in Silver Spoons?
Could be a Fender but the company wouldn’t cough up any cash for advertising so the logo is blocked out. Did you ever notice that Elvis mostly played Gibson guitars in his movies but the name is always blocked out?

I wonder how they blocked out the logo on that bass? The wood color where the logo should be, is completely uniform.
Like they sanded down the logo until it was gone, or carefully painted wood colored paint over it. A lot of work to remove a logo.
The Fender logos on the two other kids strats are still there. It is like they were ok with the secondary actors having logos, but they didn't want the star to have the logo.

The pic isn’t great, but the nut width appears closer to a J though it’s on a P. Aftermarket neck?

Also, the string tee screw goes through to the back side of the headstock and pokes out. I have never seen that before.

Have you ever seen a bass headstock with that going out the back like that?
Thanks

Yes, its actually a strap button & is common on Fender Precision basses

Wouldn’t have been impossible to get the decal off.
Also there were plenty of knockoffs around.

For real. Ann Margaret in her heyday and long after was striking. Her performance in Tommy was sexy to me at age 12. Yikes!
