Sorry...does nothing for me...and I like headless basses

Adjusting everything to ensure that it all works. Some of the saddle screws are rusted solid...

Bob the builder - don't know

Now wearing black Rotosound tapewounds....

The back of the tuners give a suggestion of how well the bass had been cared for. They're a a bit scabby and the chrome is showing signs of rust coming through the chrome. The knobs were glued on, the pots were lose... Haven't plugged it in yet. Hopefully no issues with the electronics.

I "accidentally " bought another Yamaha BBG5N11 recently. Seller readvertised the bass after a no sale. I put in a cheeky "that won't win" bid - I was the only bidder. Several days later the spade, er bass arrives. Strings are rusty and dirty. Not a set either. Removed I find the Nut is moving freely. Previous owner must have been a potato farmer - fretboard is filthy and bone dry. No idea where this has been living... Out come the wipes, cleaning duster and the Lemon oil...half an hour later ee have a clean, oiled fretboard looking infinitely better...Nut now glued in safely. Letting the glue dry and the nut to settle in before fitting a set of black tapewounds... How do people let this happen to instruments?? Everything has a value...why would you neglect something so that it deteriorates?? It's beyond me.. Photos to follow...
