Thanks for the kind comments guys,
I got it last sept or oct for £100, I was gutted when I found out how dogged it was, the paint and veneer repair cost £180, the electrics and active circuit I traded for the hipshot D tuner that was on it, the two pups were £40 each, the schallers £20, it may all sound a bit expensive, plus hours of my time, but as it was money here and there over 6 months It felt painless,
so for around 400 smackers I have a nice bass, I never had that money at the time, plus Ive learnt alot on the way and as sad as it seems, its another bass that hasnt bitten the dust.
