A bit more information would help. First, where is the fret buzz, everywhere across the neck or specific areas, towards the nut, towards the neck etc? When you say "totally straighten the neck out" - how much of a gap is there between the bottom of the string and the top of the 8th and 9th frets if you hold down the string at the first and last fret at the same time? Ideally, the neck would not be set totally straight but there'd be a little bit of a gap, the witdth of a business card, less than 1mm in this area. Are the strings buzzing on the first fret when you play an open string? This is the only reason you'd think about replacing the nut - provided the neck relief has been set correctly and is not bowed back. Don't replace anything for now. Until you confirm this is not a setup issue, you'll only waste money by replacing parts which don't need to be replaced. First things first, get the neck relief right, as described above. Then report back.

The main bass ( albeit modded) of James Eller of The The and many other bands. I wouldn't mind one at £50

Now gone to a new home 😊

It's the amp @stevie uses

Could be Mark Knopfler under the treble switch?

Hm. Is it big enough to store necks and (bass!) bodies in? Looks as if it might be long enough for necks.

I don't have any social media (unless you count basschat) so I cant post there!

Very cool and I bet it sounds incredible ... but makes me think of chiropractor, lol

Casual inquiry: would a Monza and Trace TE-1200 (800W at 8 ohms) be a disastrous match? Shame Trace don't do a less extreme powered head (unless you go all the way down to an Elf) (Edit: with my back/neck issues, I couldn't really confortably handle a Monaco ... to provide context)

Wonderful to bring such a cool bass back to life.

I recently bought a Laney Digbeth 500 head and it`s damm sexy Sounds good as well. I also bought a Markbass MB58R 4 X 10 cab. I don`t know if I`m digging the usual MB look but at 16 kg for a 4 x 10 I`m willing to try.

The Black Stone Cherry FB group is very friendly and at least one of the band members occasionally post there - could be worth asking in there if anyone knows what event its from

@Ian Somerville bought a G&L Tribute SB-2 from me. Great guy to deal with, good comms, prompt payment, kept in touch throughout. Smoothest of the smooth transactions. Deal with confidence.

Ian Paice by the tone controls

Lincoln Goines through written part for the tune 'Goin' Under' from the 1999 Mike Stern album, 'Play'. Nice easy read. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/goin-under-mike-stern/

Yeah, saw the BSC one. Think there's an Alice Cooper one too up by the Rhythm/Treble switch.

It looks like there's a Geezer Butler, Rob Trujillo and Kerry King on there Geezer by the pickup switch, Rob on the cutaway, and Kerry on the bottom right corner

Highway star - Deep Purple

Any actually useful responses out there?
