Trying to clean body on '78 Fender Musicmaster bass advice
Hellzero replied to crashdesk's topic in General Discussion
In 1978, it was a polyester finish, so a way cheaper car polish will be perfect and better suited. @peteb It's surely something from the Meguiar's range like this compound that works perfectly well with nitro cellulosic, polyester or polyurethane finish : https://www.meguiars.co.uk/product/ultimate-compound-450ml/ It's the one I use for all instruments in need of a real cleaning/shining or to simply make them look better. -
My L-Bow V is now, since this morning, with Heiko for a complete check-up, some repairs as there have been some modifications made over the years, and the fitting of the new preamp version. According to him it's one of the very first ever made from 1998 or 99, he's checking his database to find it, but needs to find out some other clues than the obvious lack of truss rod; the fact that the paint is not original is not helping, but I'm confident.

Deleting ad pics when bass sold
Hellzero replied to graham1945's question in Site Issues and Questions
The automatically created thumbnail of your first image will remain even if you delete the images in your account, just saying. I always erase the photos as I need the space for further ones, but noticed this non bothering at all part a long time ago. As @chris_b and @Woodinblack said, it's a good thing that ads remain intact as it's the best way to know the real value of what has been sold, if it's been sold at the listed price. -
Certainly the local carpenter who is also a part time butcher, with loads of glue and screws and no refinish. 🤦🏻🤣 I had an old Warwick Streamer (advertised here) in similar state and when I asked my friend Christophe (Leduc) how much it would cost to have it back to a fully working condition, he said between £500 and £1000 depending on the level of non seeable repair and I pay way less than anyone else... In my glory days I rebuilt an exploded acoustic Landola guitar that had fallen from the top of a 3 rows guitar shop presentation shelf and it took me a full week to get a non seeable repair, just do the maths... Strangely after the repair, the guitar was sounding better than its fully original still on the shelf sister, go figure.

Excellent recommendation @LeftyJ. I had this bridge on a few basses and it was as good as an Hipshot, except that it's a fixed strings spacing like the style B, but who cares on a Fenderish bass.

Late 1960s Fender Jazz Bass with different year for body and neck
Hellzero replied to cascanicoff's topic in Bass Guitars
And is the main problem with all Fender basses or guitars: the parts swapping. To me, at least 50% of the Fender vintage market are put together instruments sold as fully original at delirious prices, without any shame. -
Ressurrecting this thread, here is mine.

The original is way more expensive plus you have to add the shipping cost and the taxes... https://musicarea.com/products/rb30-electric-bass-case -

That said there are always three sides to every story. Let's see if someone gets it.

Isn't it a bit extreme?

Especially if he was using Rotosound Swing Bass (66) like almost everybody back then in the U.K., and I seem to recall that it's what he used to play. -
