I bought a 5-string bass a month or two ago, I've hardly touched it

I've so many guitars I've lost count. My attitude is if a guitar cost a couple of hundo..its worth just keeping if you love it. Even if its in the attic
I know people that spend 200 notes on a trip to a restaurant without flinching
Keep telling myself the only guitar left I could sell is the G&L Legacy. Then I take it out, change strings, and say fuck that. Not having some shitbag offer €150 for it on boards.

my wife has a les paul special; was resprayed at one point (quite a good respray) so we've no idea how old it is. my wife has a hunch it's early 80s for some reason.
A gone off box of wheetabix and anything in my ads

bastards are coded around the sides, and not easy to take out without breaking the solder on what i think would be capacitors between them? i'd thought based on a quick search that the last two digits would be the month of manufacture, but on the one i can see here, it ends in 79.
also, would the depth of paint on the back of the headstock imply it's been repainted? it's very difficult to read the number as is.

Have you tried doing a rubbing of the back of the headstock with a soft pencil and a bit of paper? I used that trick before to decipher text on a mystery piece of Bakelite that was in our attic when we moved in
Looks a bit shiny for a primer?I wasn't sure if that might just be a primer which wouldn't have made it to the final finish. Not clear from the photo above, but it's now a deep purple.
