    A quick thought, are all your tuners stiff? If it's only some the cause of stiffness could be the keys have been bashed so that the key-post might be slightly bent thereby rubbing their keepers excessively. I have this problem with one of my vintage basses- have removed the offending tuner and tried straightening in an engineer's vice with limited results (without damaging it further!). Either way I do oil the machines once in a while, I'm ashamed to write this but use motor oil, even grease in the ferrules. There isn't any evidence of damage to the EBs, T'birds or Jazz finish.

    Aye. This machine lives with me in the Lake District. It has its blemishes, only exactly as described and pictured by 'zoonyboy'. He had mixed feelings about parting with it, but the ball was in my court when I was over in Tyneside. I don't have computers; this is via a concession at my local library otherwise I'd have details of two EB-3s which I have for sale: a 1962 and a 1967 having the narrow neck. Regards all. R.P.

    Currently has a set of flat-wounds and is awesome. This and my '66 Jazz are always close to hand along with my '62 Gibson SG Standard. A problem I have with the Jazz is locating a couple of machine-head bolts; currently has set-screws. Crem d Meths in case Joe Costin's looking or Roger in Kendal.
