    The Walkabout Combo is a mighty fine piece! In fact one of the few combos I still from time to time consider revisiting! Mine was the 15 too... Shame I owned it in my pre-car days! Lovely piece of kit 😍

    Your YouTube review was part of my purchase journey so thank you.

    Can I suggest you get in quick, Sir, if that's your intention? It's potentially a shipping quote and confirmation away from leaving! T

    Thank you sir but I am just gassing from a distance.  I have a 15” Walkabout combo, which I love.

    An absolute stonker. Natural with white plate suits the early 70s very well, dead right. And the paler original tone under the covers, nice. The nut's immaculate - it's a timewarp 👍

    p.s. anyone know when they stopped the foam damper strip under the bridge cover? I'm assuming around CBS transition, maybe '66 or so?

    I’ve just had a closer look & you can see where it once was.

    Also, unless I dreamt it, my ‘78 Antigua has them.  I’ll check later and report in...

    Being away so much cost me my first marriage, but Mrs Bassfinger MKII was, at the time, a copper so understood long hours and crazy shifts.  She's since retired through Ill health, and i've sort of move partially sideways in my field away from actually geological work towards the planning and asset  management side of things. 

    Instead of contracting I've settled on a full time employer who are really good.  I don't get to go away so often, and when I do now it tends to be more Western Europe rather than the Americas or the Stans.  I still do a little consulting, but not too much these days due to potential conflict with my full time employer, but 50 euros an hour plus expenses is a good crack when I do take on a bit on the side.

    I'm 51, heading for 52, and I've shovelled enough away in recent years that I'm knocking it on the head 2 months past my 55th birthday which is when my mortgage will be paid off.  I won't be buying a private jet or a racehorse, but I won't starve either and I can spend some time with Mrs Bassfinger and my dawg.

    Zzzzzzz
