fleabag

Stevie and i were messing around. The cab was actually upside down at the time, as i was working on the underneath. But even with the cab the right way up, you can have the space for your knuckles when gripping the handle, either facing up or down

Yeah they do. But if they were the other way round, its slightly more cramped to get a grip. I checked this before. You find that you need the most space below the handle for your knuckles

Money shots - oi , stop dribbling at the back Some side action Some rear action , matron. Yes i stuck another badge on the rear. Had some perspex i didnt know what to do with Some front action And a close up ( sounding like a porn movie ? ) of the flash SS cups under the grill screws. Oh yes. Come to daddy

Right - brace yourselves - we are done. At last I got feet - 4 of 'em Soldering driver Fitting driver

Wont be long Stevie - it'll be done tonight - honest guv

I can only post about that when its finished

Someone's on the ball

No one spotted i put the handles on upside down ?

Mammoth hair covering would have been unique , eh !

Slightly like an old fashioned trunk

Thanks Pete - this one has the skunky

Hendrix $18,000 - Santana $750

Some of the edge protection fitted, and if i hadn't miss-cut a few while i had a fuzzy head full of cold, i'd be finished. So, waiting for more strip to arrive. meanwhile - pics of partial edge fittings - cab is a bit dusty. Needs a vacuum

Easy enough to look at the pots - i'm passing all info over. Cheers

What's with the ' status.vintage.bass ' Putting full stops between each word ?

Cheers Mr dave

I'll put this to him Rod. I know some people are reluctant to dismantle a bass thats never been dismantled in 30 years. Upto him i guess

'Fraid so H. Very maple

I had that intention PT, but changed my mind. Thanks !

Ta !

Funny you should say a grand give or take, because the moment i saw, i said to him £900 + maybe a £1000, and he wasn't upset Then again, he bought it in 87 /88 /89 or whatever, so its all money in his sky rocket. Think he paid 5 or £600. He couldnt remember - silly old goat. He hasn't even played it for 5 years. Been in the HSC and stored in the house. I had a plonk on it today when he brought it round. My first ever twang on an MM. It was bluddy lovely, so meaty. Out of my price range, and i got too many i dont play anyway

Yeah thats the place i looked, and that number isn't there, though there's some close below, and some after it.

Thanks, very helpful. Serial No. starts with a B and then 6 numbers starting 027*** I checked some website i found to date it, but its missing ? I've seen the bass, its a 2 band EQ , and has one of those transition bridges ( i think ) with mutes, 2 of the spongy bits missing, and it has a beautiful Birds Eye maple neck. Its in its original body colour, which was white when he bought it, and its now yellow Road worn, i'd say. Tuners have dulled a bit, and there's what looks like a patch of paint missing on the rear, like its been rubbing on clothes or jeans. It also has the HSC I'll take the photos for him, then its upto him where he sells it, though i'd avoid the utter timewasters on Dumtree

Phew ! I feel a lot safer

Wow - no late 80's EBMM sold in UK. A few others, one late 90's couple of post 2000 , and some not even dated in the listings. Not a great help Ebay
