Just got it screwed down....only came off this afternoon so all should be good, thanks for the heads up, good job I posted..!

Well I've given it a good clean and a polish, I've swapped out the original pickguard as there was getting quite a lot of pressure on those brittle corners due to its shrinkage, so that's nice and safely stored away and a very splendid looking reissue 62 tort is in its place. I a,so swapped out the original machine heads for some gotoh vintage replacements which have reduced my tuning time by about 90%....so they are nice and safely stored too. I think the colour of this beauty has really come up great with a bit of elbow grease, looks like a different bass. The fretboard also had a lot of dirt on it which was hiding a very beautiful dark grain, I don't know how people feel about changing the pickguard and machine heads, but i feel as though it has made a great bass even greater!, [URL=http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/chrisanthony1611/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsxaef978x.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/chrisanthony1611/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsxaef978x.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/chrisanthony1611/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsdmrkjrrj.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/chrisanthony1611/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsdmrkjrrj.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/chrisanthony1611/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsio4jwgev.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/chrisanthony1611/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsio4jwgev.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/chrisanthony1611/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps2fhycfb7.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/chrisanthony1611/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps2fhycfb7.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/chrisanthony1611/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3fikie1q.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/chrisanthony1611/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3fikie1q.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/chrisanthony1611/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpseuplhs5i.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/chrisanthony1611/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpseuplhs5i.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/chrisanthony1611/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsbktvwi57.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/chrisanthony1611/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsbktvwi57.jpeg[/IMG][/URL]

Mr UPS thought it would be a good idea to leave this one my door step for a couple of hours, the wife forgot it was coming and went to her mums, fortunately no one decided to take it away with them, because this is what a phat sound is all about, can't wait to gig her next Saturday ...

AER amp one sounds the way to go if you have the £££££. I had one which was great until we got a new drummer who liking bigs sticks and hitting things hard! These are small and diminutive and stupidly loud for a 10 in combo, they can keep up with a full band, as long as they don't play too loud, any extension cab would need to be powered though which is why I ultimately moved it on and got MB CMD121p with the NY extension cab which is great, and I've had for over 12 months which is un heard of for me, these are great too.

mmmmm...may have to sell some more gear now!

Here's a little tease, not the best photo in the world but I'm on my phone so it's the best I can do, looks to have a beautiful Brazilian rosewood neck...... Can't wait..

Gas is a horrible thing, once you get it there's no stopping it, no matter how hard I try, it just keeps getting the better of me. I blame basschat, every time I see all these wonderful basses I just want to have them! Anyway, I've had to sell one of my beloved Flea basses to fund my latest purchase, and I will also have to sell my Sandberg boxer shorts to keep Mrs Anthony happy, although I can't really complain, she does tolerate my gas obsessions rather well considering..... Although it does help that I seem to have some rather good fortune at buying basses at a rather competitive price, and selling for quite a bit more! Anyway, my latest gas purchase is a rather beautiful 1964 Fender Precision, it's been refinished in what was its original colour, fiesta red, with a beautifully aged white /green pickguard, other than the refin it's all original. I shall hopefully get it on Friday and shall post some Precision porn...
