Unless he has a late change of heart the deal will complete early next month. Sorry. Thought we had a trade deal? Was waiting for you to let me know when you had a gig closer to me. ?

Stub Mandrel Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Hi Stew, I removed the nut and small washer on the jack socket and carefully lifted the big silver washer to reveal... wood! I expected damage from a plugged in jack being bashed around, but no, just a slight indentation from the original washer. It appears to have been doing absolutely nothing and photos of other Thunder 1s and 1As shows it not to have been original, so I just popped the small washer and nut back on! Very, very high output pickups, it really does have p-bass e-string growl! I still need to deep clean, restore the brass and re-lacquer it. I'm also not convinced I like those strings, perhaps a gauge to heavy for me; I might swap for <gasp> flatwounds.
