Thanks for all the comments guys, Its a gorgeous bass and as i said its a feeler, I don't want to sell but would like to change my car, settle a few debts etc etc ... you know the score.
Birdy's post has gone but the bass stands me;
Initial purchase (un working),
electronic repair,
ancillary work and paint by Dave Wilson,
new East pre amp,
Ernie Ball knobs,
Chrome Strap Buttons,
Nickel Screws,
Total cost of circa 1100 , I would need to cover this or close to, to make it worth selling.
Thanks
Dave
