I lurk there now and again and the same login for bc works there 🙂

Nice 👍, what’s the jazz on the right, that’s sweet

Welcome Foureyes ☝️

A great track here from Barrington levy from 1980 , cool Bassline by flabba I believe

I’d never heard of him, His name is Kevin Martin I think, I had a listen to some of his music and a lot of it seems to be trance , the one you posted seems to be the best one 🙂

Yeah I looked at the website too, there doesn’t seem to be much info though 🙂

All I got was , super guitars are made by, Taranaki guitars is a music store in Germany. They have Taranaki and Super Guitars as their own brand. Made in Korea.

Just had a flick through it, nice tune at 23.00

Looks nice, is there anything on the neckplate

Yeah that’s it Paul, I had to pay more than she had it advertised for, she said it had a lot of offers, it cleaned up well

Thanks for that dave, it’s helped me date it, that must have been a really nice first bass, they play so good, this was my first bass , I paid about £30 for it in 1977, it now hangs on my summerhouse wall 🙂

My one didn’t cost much more than you paid, and only needed a good clean and a few minor repairs, I enjoyed doing it 🙂

Good idea Paul, I could shape it at work 👍

Thanks nik 👍, I bought it for a bit of fun really but it plays so nice, the pickups are quite powerful and I like the tone from the P .

The only thing missing is the truss rod cover, does anyone know where I could get one ?

Thanks bassfinger, I didn’t think of that, fortunately there wasn’t any damage, I think it had just been stored away for a long while, I’m guessing many years , it smelt like my 93 year old aunt Hilda’s fur coat 😁

I haven’t weighed it but it’s definitely heavier than anything else I have 🙂, I’ve still got more work to do ,but to get it working i re soldered a wire and I put a set of flats on and it works great

The nut polished up really good and the fretboard cleaned up well too , it’s had 2 coats of lemon oil

Thanks Paul, yeah I took the flags off and here’s the back

I removed the strings and the nut fell off as it wasn’t fixed, and I could get to the fretboard to clean it , i was pleasantly surprised to see the fret markers were brass, I also removed the stickers from the headstock and the body

I just thought I’d share this little project with you, I bought what Im pretty sure is a late 70s or early 80s Kay cort (please correct me if I’m wrong here 🙂). It was in a pretty grimy condition in an old case, but after a closer look I’d say all original , it didn’t work very well, the jack socket had a few spiders in it 😁 , and there was a broken wire on the pickup selector switch, so I set to work cleaning it up , more pics to follow 🙂

Sounds good 👍, Family man, Robbie and flabba Holt all got a great tone from their hofners, they also used the steinberger L-2 or XL-2

Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for meterman but Sandberg do a super light, a TT4 I believe, and it might be worth looking at some of the Ibanez hollow body range, the AGB260 looks nice 🙂

Thanks Al 👍
