thebrig Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 [quote name='bassbiscuits' timestamp='1474759502' post='3140361'] Good lad for keeping it as it is. It looks like a great bass. I've turned to using a Lull PJ4 as some shoulder problems mean playing anything heavier a PITA at present. But my 70 P is staying exactly where it is, cos when I need it, I'm very glad I've got such a cool old instrument. Enjoy it bud, and good luck with the back problems too. [/quote]Thanks for the kind words, and yes, its nice to have such a great sounding/playing bass I can play sitting down at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Just buy a new body and stick the old neck on it. Keep the original body under the bed for whenever it may be needed to be reintroduced to the neck.

12stringbassist Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Looking at the bass in question, if it was mine, I'd consider the refinish if I had no great desire to sell it. I don't subscribe to the 'if it's mashed, it's valuable' theory, but that's just me. I like a nice looking bass, with minimal wear - some wear, yes, but that's gone beyond the point where I would buy it. I think if you get it refinished to look original, it would be a nice thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Back in the 1980s, I stripped my very battered (by the previous owner, not me) '72 Jazz. We were all doing it back then. Has defo reduced its value. So unless you plan to keep it for ever and/or money is of no consequence, best not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
