Is the headstock tipped back? It looks as if it could use a string tree.

Is it damage to the wood surface, or "just" a colour change?

Go for it. Good luck

I have a Sinsonido bass. It's nice, though the extremely light weight makes it feel a little odd. I should play it more often.

That's a fine name for a band

Looks good

priscillasnake's stuff is often priced, um, [i]ambitiously.[/i] Some of the 60s Italian stuff is completely off the wall. This is relatively tame; just a very short scale.

To be fair, he does claim to be a costume bass maker...

Mirror Or mint.

Nice one. I might make it to the Fleece

Looks nice. Some suspicious wear on one of the neckplate screws - why has the neck been on + off enough for the screw head to be worn like that? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980-S-IBANEZ-ROADSTAR-2-4-STRING-BASS-BLACK-/281584450185?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item418fbdba89

Looks nice
