I'm ever so tempted by this.

He is a fine chap to deal with, you won't be disappointed.
Wow Jamie, that is properly roadworn.
Like others have said, leave the electrics alone. Give it a clean,,,, play and enjoy.
It's certainly an instrument you can gig and not worry about it getting a dink or two.

This is such a nice bass in really good condition! If I hadn't just bought one, I'd be all over this!

Thanks, hope you enjoy your purchase.

Dunno about the physics to be honest, wouldn't hanging a guitar cause a bit of stress at the neck/body joint due to the actual weight of the guitar ? (applies to bolt on necks, not neck through)

Think you are worrying unnecessarily, after all, they hang on straps when we play em.
There are a few of us with 70's Fenders for sale at the moment on the forum.
Most of us Bass Chatters are friendly, trustworthy and I would think happy to arrange a demo. Go check them out
Good luck and enjoy the search.
Your Dad sounds like a fine and generous chap .
You say you can't sell the first one, so get that one sorted and playable.
Think my choice after that, would be to keep the G&L. As you say, underrated. Have to agree, they sound huge and very versatile.
Good luck with it and the impeding arrival of baby machines.
