TheRev Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Here we go - a 50s blonde! [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b329/RevDave/DSCN2086.jpg[/IMG] The neck has snapped off at some point in the past but the repair is solid. There's also some serious playing wear on the neck, resulting in an almost 'V' profile. I might have the neck reshaped if it bugs me. The bridge looks a bit lopsided but it doesn't affect the playability. Again, a new bridge may be on the cards. All in all I'm pretty happy. I've been looking for a decent old ply bass for a while - a real old slapper! Edited October 30, 2011 by TheRev Quote
rockabillybob1 Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 i had grooves in fingerboard go on ebay fill it with milliput hard as hell drys black and lasts a long time and it can be sanded to the shape of board save you alot of money Quote
TheRev Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Those aren't grooves - it's where the paint has worn away & showing the rosewood (I think) underneath, Quote
TheRev Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 Out of interest, how do the Silver slaps sound on your Framus? Can you get any growl out of them? Quote
