Not really much to take a pic of and didn't think it was worthwhile bothering you. I'll take some when i do the bridge pick up tho as i hate to disappoint you guys. Dave

Here's some food for thought. Some are nicer than others -- I particularly like no.7, although it's not a folding one. 35 DIY Guitar Stand Plans You Can Build - Handy Keen

Yep have to say it sounds ok out front there. How weird that must have been playing with a Vulcan bomber in front of you. That's one you won't forget. Dave

If you open the case, you can check date codes from the opamps and other semiconductors.

As long as time given for the Tru-oil to dry off fully, then yes. It's essentially poly on poly at that point.

There's something magnificent about old tools, a mate of mine found one at a boot sale, and a few years later has a collection to rival some bass collections! Thanks for the advice, some jobs require the combination of high attention and effort and low speed 👍

I'm still using the one my father bought 50 to 60 years ago, but it only goes up to 10 mm and uses a screwdriver handle, so hard on the palm of the hand. 😉

@SteveXFR I've replaced all the preamps in mine with LHZ-03. When gigging I run everything turned up full except on a couple of songs (Under Pressure and Bohemian Rhapsody) where I roll the treble to halfway. I'm never chasing a tone, never have to worry about trying to be like a safecracker getting the knob to the exact right spot. For me, Spectors are a one trick pony, it's the best trick in the world and the pony has wings. That's what I want; repeatable, reliable tone that is always there. I found that I'd get a useable tone from a TP but would lose it if the knobs got moved. They way I run now makes it easy to check the knob position on the fly. And the LHZ has centre detents.

Chris has just bought a Yamaha BB from me. Flawless transaction; enjoy the bass.

Tony, that is exactly what I'm looking for I suspect, many thanks mate 🙏
