    [quote name='slab66' timestamp='1411034696' post='2555731'] I think I saw it up for sale a while ago. Really interesting piece nevertheless. [/quote] Yes, it had a slightly butched '59 Rosewood board neck on it, body was refin'd in 2-tone sunburst, most of the body accessories were original though, it was just too pricey to restore, even at a fraction of that price, especially without the all important original neck. Lots of history and stories with it though....and of course, another one traced. Rick

    [quote name='slab66' timestamp='1410964016' post='2555112'] Was that the one that was up for sale for £10,000? [/quote] yes, i had an opportunity to buy it, but it was a bit of a bitsa, and refinished, so not for me, but an interesting bass, and i enjoyed scrutinising it to that level.

    [quote name='slab66' timestamp='1410889592' post='2554405'] This slab was loosely based on Wally Waller's bass. [/quote] I had the pleasure, and privilege of carrying out a full strip down, screws an' all, appraisal on Wally's slab, very much a mongrel piece that one. Nice guy. Rick.

    [quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1410905816' post='2554663'] Rare Blonde 1982 Fender Fullerton , '57 reissue. [url="http://s1237.photobucket.com/user/cmsb_horton/media/4%20basses/82FullertonampCandy_zps93b58814.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Chris, that looks fantastic, I don't often regret parting with basses, as there's normally a good reason, but that is an exception, what a fine, fine bass guitar that is!!

    [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1410895254' post='2554486'] One of the greatest decking/bassgear shots of all time. If, while you were taking the pictures, there was a sudden downpour, what would you grab first? [/quote] Thanks for the comment, and, 20 seconds after this pic was taken, i did feel some spots of rain actually, so grabbed the '52 P and '61 J, took them inside, into their cases, then the '58 and amps. If I had to save one though, I guess it would be the hardest one to replace, which, out of those three, would be the '52 Precision!!

    Right, these are being split up, and sold seperately, I'll be putting individual prices up later today.

    OK, so I notice theres no post for my favourite combination on Fender basses, which is 3TSB, maple neck and gold anodized guard. Heres mine, so lets see yours, and lets not be sunburst or maple biased, if its a gold guard, lets see it, especially those blondes....

    1957/8 Fender Mandolin (Mandocaster) Rarest and most sought after finish, impossibly rare in the UK, maybe the only one? 100% original Lightly worn, original 3-Tone Sunburst Finish, some weather checking, beautiful condition, see pics Maple neck, with original frets. Original spaghetti decal, original tuners, and very rare original Bakelite tuning pegs intact. Original gold anodized guard, with some wear as seen, below strings as normal on gold guards Rare to have original chrome bridge cover still in place Original tweed case. 100% original Mandocaster in the rarest, and most sought after finish combination. It's the best example I've seen, which is why I bought it in the first place. It comes with it's original tweed case, the handle of which may be a replacement? Any trial welcome, obviously, and you won't be disappointed. It's a stunning instrument, highly sought after, and one of the best examples you'll find. Maybe the only one in the UK, when was the last time one of these was available? More pics available to those genuinly interested.
