1977 from the headstock decal, but could be from 1978 too. Better check the pots and decipher their code number. By the way HEIC is not a good forum photo format, better use JPG...

Neil bought a set of DiMarzio DP249BK Area-J pickups from me. Very fast payment and great communication too. Enjoy your new pickups, Neil.

Max bought my, now, rare Zampower. He paid instantly. Communication was great through the whole process. Will make business with him again. A true credit to Basschat. Qui sait, à la prochaine, Max !

Sold a set of Nordstrand pickups to Mark. Fast payment. Everything was smooth and easy from the start to the end. A++++++++ as they say elsewhere.

I had 2 or 3 in the late 90's, but it's not a Zeta Crossover as the controls would be on the exact opposite other end (bottom right) close to bridge. This one is a Zeta Electric Upright Bass and I also had one at the same period. It's a regular scale (41 1/4) EUB (Electric Upright Bass). An early attempt to emulate the double bass sound with some success and a very good instrument. There should be a padded gig bag, a tripod and a hip brace to be be complete. Beware that there's a battery in the rear compartment, so better check if it has not leaked. The controls are on the top left on the Zeta Electric Upright Bass and the price when complete is around 750 Euros.

There should be a diode preventing the cooking of your pedal when reverting the power supply. Chances are that it's only this diode that has burned... Chances...

By the way, rock definitely died with Lemmy, the last authentic rocker. Tough days for those pretending to be the new generation, especially in the punk area. Can't hide a smile when I hear people making punk rock music in 2020, having whiter than white teeth and wearing unaffordable clothes . Hey guys, don't you know that there's no future !

Urm, urm, these are double ball end strings...

@leschirons if you want Christophe LEDUC to fix the Gibson headstock that's the best option for sure and it will be totally invisible, but he is on vacation until the 10th of August. I just called him today to have some news as we are friends. 😉

Yes I did @Stub Mandrel. Excellent stuff. Was the bass made by Fodera ? 😁

Yes, but XXXS size only Russ, so not for you.

I guess you mean Pino PALLADINO. 😉 My bad, he's Pino's son !

And 10.

I'll take 2 sets (and more signed photos as my darts center is unreadable now).

Don't worry, I'm only making plans for Nigel.

To get more signed photos, I'll have to order more...

If your jack is loose, then it's dead, especially if it's a barrel type. Otherwise, you can tighten up the lugs by pushing them towards the center.

Go the shop with your complaint file, show it to them and tell them that they can't sell the bass again. You have to supply your ID when selling items to Cash Crooks and Friends. Better also ask them where is the Helix as it's surely been bought by them at the same time... If the police don't move, better go there first and ask them what they are waiting for !

I'd like to see the landlord's or landlady's face when you start drilling holes everywhere at the venue. 🤣

Blo*dy laundry ! 😁

I'll PM you on Thursday. 🤣
