TheGreek Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Nice work..£130 you say...seems like good value.. Quote
soopercrip Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Well done Mark looks great. Whats the next project? Andy Quote

Andy [/quote] Well Andy, there are rumours around these parts that many years ago, as far back as the 1980's, someone with a fairly large garage started to use the back end of it for storage. Kids left home, too much stuff in the house etc etc..so a clearout was undertaken (possibly on a dark, windswept night whilst a lone wolf howled in the distance.......or possibly not....might be over-egging it there). I have it on good authority that, amongst the stuff that went in there were 3 guitars, one of which is a bass. I intend to mount an expedition in the next week or so to go in search of it. Nobody knows how old it is, what make it is or even what colour it was. I reckon this should be interesting. I will keep you posted as to what I find in there. Regards, Mark. Quote
Truckstop Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Can I have dibs on whatever it is you find please? Cheers Truckstop Quote

Chairleg Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 I forgot to mention the weight of the finished bass: 11lbs. Ouch. Regards, Mark. Quote
Mylkinut Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I've been eyeing these up on ebay. Thinking vintage white, lots of chrome, tasty. But 11lbs? Edited March 7, 2012 by Mylkinut Quote
