    I've just picked up a nice Musicman SUB USA model, you know, the one with the satin black neck. Over the years the finish on the back of the neck has gone shiny and a bit tacky; it's easily marked with a fingernail and feels like I could scrap the top coat off easily with said fingernail. What would be the best way to restore the surface? The bass is a player, not a piece of art, but I wouldn't want to butcher it unnecessarily. Thanks for any comments guys.

    Lovely bass, one of these was my first proper bass. Bought new in August 1984 for the princely sum of £202. It still is the best Precision I've ever played. Good luck with the sale!

    Sold my Epiphone Jack C to Rich yesterday. Miserable weather in Glossop but a great guy to deal with! Enjoy the bass Rich.

    These are just gathering dust so a price drop methinks. Now £8 each

    Continuing the shed clear out....this is a BBOT 4 string bridge that I lifted off my now departed limelight jazz. The saddles were too corroded to be functional so these had been replaced with brass ones. Includes the relic'd screws. £10 plus postage

    Having a bit of a clear out of stuff in the bass shed. These came off late 1990s Stingrays that I had in my possession but decided to change from the matt black look to shiny. Both are black white black and have some player wear (ie the Matt has gone shiny in some areas). £10 each plus postage. SR4 PG NOW SOLD

    If my Epi JC sells I'll be back for this.... Passing Tewkesbury tomorrow, if only I had the cash to hand.

    This really is a Cracking bass but alas after a few rehearsals I don't think semi-hollow with body binding is for me. A Jazz or something like a G&L Tribute L2000 would hit the spot better.

    I briefly had a 4004cii before the 4003. It was a 2013 I think. Didn't feel like a £1600 bass, hated the Humbuckers....you certainly don't get the Rick bite unless you're prepared to have a new harness installed. It was easier to play without the binding but the sound deficiency made that pointless for me.

    I play finger style, as long as you remove the pickup cover and install one of the finger rest surrounds its easy enough to play.

    It was well worth the wait! Andy truly is the Ed China of the Luthery world.

    [quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1465054698' post='3064999'] 😍 If I didn't already have the white one, I'd be having this. Great basses. GLWTS [/quote] Cheers Dan, I've tried hard to like it but I've decided I can't justify using it as a room ornament.

    Do you have a weight for this Peter?
  21. martthebass
    I've only recently picked this up in a trade, in looking for a lightweight bass as a more conventional looking option to my Status I thought I'd give this a go. Unfortunately we haven't bonded, the sound is awesome but I guess I'm too used to Fender, Status or MM type bases. The bass is only a few weeks old, is in excellent condition and is set up with a nice low action. Weight is around the 8lb mark by my bathroom scales and headstock dive seems minimal to me (3'' suede strap) It also comes with (the expensive) Epiphone JC hard shell case, which is similarly in excellent nick. In terms of trades I'd look at anything Fenderish Jazz, MM SUB or G&L Tribute as long as it's sub 9lb and in good condition. I'd rather not post at this point as I don't have a box hanging about that will accommodate the HSC! But I will entertain a sub 50 mile meet up.
