Anyone know anything about these?? I have found that Crestwood in the early 1970's were probably made by Matsumoku. This is a Double Cutaway, dual F hole, dual pickup, short scale bass. I have found very little on a Crestwood Astral IV, and on Jack White's Astral II guitar, but nothing on a Crestwood Astral VI Hollow body bass. I am almost positive that the bridge was replace by some really bad roller bridge and it should be a movable adjustable rosewood hollow body type bridge.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi iriegnome.
Based on body shape, the tailpiece and selector switch cover, I'm pretty sure your bass was made by Greco in the late 1960's. You are right about the bridge, the original was a floating, rosewood bridge that was probably lost at some point in time.
Nice looking bass
