  1. I can remember drooling over the Wilson guitars in the old "Bells" catalogues many moons ago. I don't like the refinish on this one though!

    Thanks guys, it looks very white in the photos, but it is a more creamy colour in the flesh. The black pick guard is from my 78 Precision, I am going to swap them over and put the brown torti plate on this tomorrow as I think that will complete the look - thoughts?

    Slightly delayed new old bass day, recently got my 1973 Precision back from Guitar Angel after its extensive refurb. Some may remember I bought a 1973 Precision that had been "worked on" it had a jazz pickup, a battery box on the back, a maple neck that had been incorrectly fretted,P and J Bartolini active pickups and a black pick guard a la Marcus Miller. Here are the photos. [attachment=194379:precision 001.JPG][attachment=194380:precision 006.JPG] Now after the excellent work(wo)manship of Angela is her in all her glory, Cavities filled with ash the same as the original body, neck sanded and a hand selected rosewood board fitted and fretted with period correct fretwire, 62 Vintage reissue pick up fitted, new pots and output socket and refinished in vintage tinted Olympic white. She looks and plays amazing in my opinion. I am well please with the results.Here are the photos.

  4. That looks great,not to my taste but excellent work. I think a dark wood inlayed swift in the truss rod cover would have looked cool and as a contrast to the MOP ones further up the headstock.

  6. I have been having problems with carpal tunnel, I saw the doc was prescribed some tablets they didn't really work still had the numbness but not as bad. This Friday I had a cortisone injection, which was fine on Friday but Saturday I could not close my hand and had no power to even open a bottle, which was a concern as I was competing in a mountain bike event today. Thankfully all went well, no numbness so far and my hands appear to be back to pre carpal tunnel condition although it is early days yet. Cheers Paul.
  7. Guitar angel does kits, google search and prepare to be impressed.l don't,know how much though.
  8. Hi I got mine from Bass gear, who I am more than happy to recommend, excellent service and very prompt delivery.
  9. I agree, I have nothing but praise for this forum. I was only extolling the virtues of this site to a guitar/bass builder within the last hour (Guitar Angel)who is refinishing/fretting one of my basses.
  10. ras52 that more likely found at a "leg end" i'll get my coat.
  11. I previously subscribed to Rock n reel magazine, regularly there was articles on UK blues bands and visiting overseas blues artists. So it it does appear that there still is a, all be it smaller,thriving blues community you just have to seek it out. Incidentally if anyone wants a number of copies of the mag and the accompanying CDs for free, just cover the postage then PM me. Cheers Paul.
  12. Thanks James loaded onto my Hudl looks great.
