What a shamed the foto flame is coming off, I often wondered how durable it was going to be. If you’re wanting “vintage “ finish and sunburst isn’t an option , then provided the fiesta red is that slightly faded salmon colour that most were in the 60’s then go for that. @Trebis probably right that it will need a tort plate to look vintage. From what you’ve said it sounds like your are planning to have this done professionally, I think that’s a good call u less you’re really skilled in the art of spraying.

Don’t bring me down- ELO

Tears a in heaven - Eric Clapton

Steeleye Span last night in Dorchester. Current line up only has Maddie from the original band but the newer members are excellent especially the fiddle player. Roger Carey is on bass.

I’m a man - Spencer Davis Group ( or Chicago)

I’ve owned 2 USA Fender Ps and a Jazz, all sold and currently have a Mex P. I can’t tell the difference except the neck is on the Mex P is more like a Jazz. I like them but I don’t think they are particularly different to other basses.

We gotta get out of this plaice - the Animals

I think you’re right. I had a 76 Precision which had an accident and took off part of the front part of the headstock. It split along the grain and was easily stuck back. But supposing this happened on a tour ( the schedules back then were torturous) no opportunity to get it to a luthier or even get to a shop for some wood glue. May also explain why he switched to the Gibson bass or that might have just been following the fashion for semis in the 60s.

On the road again - Willy Nelson

There are photos and videos on YouTube with the headstock in tact and modded. Then he has a white P bass and then switches to a natural finish Gibson EB2.

Sugar and Spice - The Searchers

Didn’t really show us his collection, no dirty bird, no spider alembic and he did seem rather bored.

12 o’clock rock - Dave Taylor

I’m using an iPad so no CTRL F5, but thanks for the idea. I’ll check if I’m blocking cookies but I don’t think so.

Super person of no fixed abode Simply any colour you choose Beach persons

The end of the world - Skeeter Davis

Thanks. There’s nothing showing in my passwords for Basschat. I’ve checked the remember me box but doesn’t make any difference. ☹️

I have a NS NXT which is passive and to listen through headphones I use a Blackstar Headphone amp. I believe the later models are now active so may be ok to plug in the headphones direct.

Wabash Canonball - Carter Family

Until recently the site would remember my log in details but now every time I open up I have to enter my user name and password a fresh. What’s happened? How can I get back to be recognised?

It’s the crummy algorithms and will get worse the more AI takes over the world.

Whilst there do seem to be a lot of optimistically priced guitars on Reverb, I’ve bought 2 on it at good prices both from private sellers who were excellent to deal with. The site is just another business so who owns it probably won’t make a jot of difference.

HE da man - Dolla
