Would make a decent burner or starter bass by all means - not sure I am boutique just yet!

Well it’s what I call a boutique bass, brilliant, love it.

Cheers chaps - too kind.

Its great having fun repairing and refinishing, hopefully look to a build in the future!

That looks fantastic. Well done

Just a wee update for y’all

I actually sold the bass to a Uni music student close to me and he demanded (!) I match the headstock and so I duly agreed.

I also changed the capacitor on the tone pot, to give it more roll off, re-did the whole soldering (I did it tired last time) and it sounds way better and is rock solid.

And a video of the scorched edges.

Happy now as the money can be re-invested into another build - and I am going to pay myself on the back a bit and say this chap got a decent bargain - it does sound good!
