PaulThePlug Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Like a cheap P! Then again i only have my Ibby GSR200 to compare it with, and a few months... Action is a little high, with a bit of buzz on the higher frets. I'll take a look at the truss after a few says of sitting after going back together. neck n body is still a little sticky with the danish, but will hopefully dry... wanted it back together. Realistically could of / should of left the red, but i think there is something about a bass (more than a guitar) that make em look nice in natural, simplicity... and something to do... Cheap and not preciouse... Also shows the time involved and what a pro does to do things properly... Rather than me, a screw fix heat gun, woolworths sander, a few grades of gritt and the odd 30 mins while taking a brake from lifes domestics...

uk_lefty Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I think if you'd left it red it would look like a cheap bass, but now there's a bit of mystique about it, keep going with the mods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 These are nice instruments. I found one in my local Cash Converters for £25. It was all in bits, but it went together pretty easily and with a set of new, cheapo strings, it sounded decent. Mine was in a rather nice sunburst and I moved it on easily a week or two after I'd re-assembled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
