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.

Chairleg Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 I forgot to mention the weight of the finished bass: 11lbs. Ouch. Regards, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylkinut Posted March 7, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
