Vester Fretless needs TLC


Recommended Posts

Is this really MIJ if it's from the 90s? Edit: Most likely Korean it seems

In any case, it looks to me like a bass that needs to be bought and restored by someone who knows what they are doing.

There's quite noticeable fretboard wear. Would someone be able to sand down the fretboard and refinish it? (And use flats/tapewound strings to prevent future marking?)

Also, the bridge is missing the saddles. Are these standard types that are easy to find?

I'm not going to be bidding myself, too far away and I'm not the right person to fix it. If anyone here does buy it, and starts a restoration thread, I'll follow it.

Edit: Ray against the machine; have you reviewed your J&D Brothers bass anywhere? I'm not likely to buy one, but I think they look quite nice and have been wondering what they're like.

Sorry, I misunderstood the J&D bit. I thought you had one of these: http://www.musicswopshop.com.au/content/images/stock/large/photo%204-mss%2029524.jpg
