Thanks John. I did see the link, didnt excite me much, didnt look right all new, and the neck with the headstock adjustment spoiled it for me, but a nice cheapish bass for someone.

The slab project: Errr, well, err, no, not yet, in my defence, I have been busy, finally sorting out my 'Space for Bass'. I've been organising, decorating and hanging my basses. It's all done now though, so soldering the 'slab' is the next job, I'm itching to get it stoked up too, here's some pics of my progress this xmas holiday;

There's a couple missing, but I'll find somewhere to put 'em.

Happy New Year to all the followers of this thread, and indeed basschat as a whole!!

My last post of 2012, gotta get ready for the gatecrashers (Friends that is, not the film!! )

I was just about to ask the very question you've just answered!

I shall watch the for sale area with some anticipation

The problem is, the value of the parts are probably more than people would pay, so I may have to strip many of the parts out to make it saleable, I need to think on it.............
