Dave Vader Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120572086610&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_896"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...IT#ht_500wt_896[/url] Just bought this body from ebay (who sadly seem to have stopped me deep-linking to their images, or it may be a chrome thing) 2 dirty great drill holes all the way through it, but I was going for a player anyway. Once I've defretted the maple neck from my Dave bass (which has now got another fretless neck on it) I'm going for a maple P-bass using this thing. Might leave it natural like it is, and slap either a black or a tort guard on it, or make my dream midnight blue translucent and tort P-bass. So many choices....

Ou7shined Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Lol. I was looking at this too but got put off by what appears in the pics to be a couple of big gaps where the laminates join... might just be the pics though. Funnily enough the holes (which probably kept the price down) weren't bothering me. I was think of a maple P (with black p/g) too. Good luck.

[/b] The on nearest the bridge looks like its got two smaller holes for screws beside it :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:[/quote] Seems like I'm not the only one then. I can't imagine what the bigger holes are about but I would say that the one nearer the bridge had a thumb rest over it to disguise it.

Dave Vader Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'm guessing the big holes were to bolt it to a pub wall at some point, these things happen a lot. Splits don't bother me, pour in a lot of glue, clamp it, job done. I had a townsended strat I did that too a couple of years ago, the guy who bought it off me is still very happy with it. Splits at the neck end I'd worry about more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
