Jono Bolton Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Do they fit together properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Won't know till week after next Jono. I'm stuck in Kent then Stratford upon Avon then Plymouth. I'll get them to fit never fear. Doesn't help though if anybody is thinking doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The Foundation arrived today, had a bit of a mad dash home on my lunch to be in for the courier as my neighbour who was going to sign for it had to go out before it was delivered, but I got it in the end. A bit rougher than the pics in the ebay auction let on but it plays nicely and sounded very good when I gave it a quick run through my amp. It's extremely light as well!

kodiakblair Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 That's a good start to your weekend jono. 13 days before I get my hands on a bass. The T40 neck and Foundation body are waiting for me at home. No good this working lark,don't these gaffers know I've basses to care for:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The Foundation's is now totally dismantled. Once if had a chance to give it a proper look over it was apparent that it was in much worse condition that the seller let on. Big chips in the finish had been coloured in with pen and not mentioned or pictured in the ad, the hardware was manky as were the frets and most of the neck, the pots had taken a knock and were at an angle, the screw holes in the control cavity had stripped, been filled with bits of match stick and then the screws put back in at an angle, causing them to chew up the wood and the plastic on the cover so I'll need to do a fill & redrill and get a new cover made up. Pretty pissed off if I'm honest and there's a lot of work to do BUT it does play nicely and the pickups sound great as well. Looks like I've got a bigger project on my hands than I thought or wanted.
