I believe @cetera has one. Would love one...

I have a similar instrument, I don't think that the strings have stopped stretching yet. Love the tone but requires constant retuning.

Row, Row, Row your boat - trad.

Bank Robber - The Clash (as well)

Just heard The Everly Brothers on an advert. When I was pre-pubertic I really liked them - very easy on the ear. Now...not so much. You??

Gonna be a good gig in Heaven this year.

Accept the seller's remorse and spend the money on another bass.

I think I'm not alone that when disposable income is available it will soon become a bass or bass related. I've owned Wals, Status, GBs, Ritter and Jaydees ...Great basses all, loved them all but I'm scared to take them out. Any knock can depreciate them by hundreds of pounds. Balance use against value, but enjoy playing them rather than keeping them safe.

I use Servisol Super 10. The 200ml has lasted me forever.

There's a very nice Alembic SC for sale on here for £6.5k IIRC. If I had the money I wouldn't hesitate in buying it. Quick reality check: I'm skint!!

Daddy cool - Boney M

Thanks for the update Richard. I had the single pickup model previously so when this became available I just had to have it. As Richard says, the volume on the bridge pickup was significantly lower but had I known what a rigmarole it would turn into I would have lived with it. I'm confident that when it's done it will have been worth it, however at the moment it's not a priority with my family issues taking priority for now. I'm sure that BCers will enjoy following the renovation of the electronics and life being breathed back into this beauty.

Why - Bronski Beat

No idea but I will look after it for you. Shame the electronics cover doesn't match

I don't approve but if the thieves want to leave any of them with me I won't tell the local rockers.

Sit down - James

Silver machine - Hawkwind

I feel a PM coming

Brave move with a £2k bass. Not sure how big the market place is for a headless Bongo

Suggestion to the OP to what they should do? "Not as advertised" and seek a refund?

Ashdown?? We know it will be a quality item...
