I remember that well ☝️, im pretty sure the original song was , I’m still in love with you boy, but I’m not sure who did the very original , here’s the marcia aitken version , and Alton Ellis version, it’s a great Bassline 🙂
A friend of mine has one of those, it plays and sounds great but I just couldn’t get past the big badge on the front, I thought it spoilt it, and I was born in West Ham 😀
Looking good si, nice job, I’ve got the bench vices on my one, which don’t go as wide as yours , it’s a bit messy at the moment as I’m having a sort out 🙂
It’s quite a deep gouge, You could use a wax repair stick , which come in many different colours , we used to use them in the joinery shop for furniture repairs, you warm the stick then fill it , then the wax sets 🙂
