    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 🙂
  3. Reggaebass
    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 👍

    According to google the sc 11 washers are ,Outer diameter: 10 mm; Hole diameter: 6 mm which are almost the same as the fender ones 🙂

    Hi!

    Just an idea, If you can get the nut off you might be able to measure the centre hole against the measurements below , to see if the fender ones are suitable 🙂

    Very nice storky, 👍I regret selling my one , great basses
  21. Reggaebass
    Could an engineering shop repair it or make you another one silky

    That’s a stunner Al ☝️, I’d like that in a 4 string
  24. Reggaebass
    I would have the frets dressed if it’s possible to increase playability, if the bass is 100% original it will keep it original and maintain its value 🙂

    My first 5 was a Yamaha 415 which I still have , i too mainly play jazzes and I was quite surprised how easy the Yamaha was to play, the nut is only 42mm I think, I can check if you want , and it’s pretty slim front to back, which I like , they are a great bass and very good value for money 🙂
