Nice one Skinnyman! I think the green looks ace! Those little basses make some noise - you wouldn't believe it from the mini-humbuckers! Enjoy! (& think very carefully before you re-spray!)

Nice though!

Yeah! What did the Romans ever do for us?

Hiya Rich

Nice bass! As you say, it'll be difficult to replace the knobs with something that matches the original - they were brass finish (rather than gold) & quite a broad diameter. If you don't like the look of the plastic ones, you could get something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/VS004-Vintage-Control-Telecaster-Guitars/dp/B01M3S6L3E/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549432720&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=Guitar+knobs+brass+flat+top&dpPl=1&dpID=41jIB-3-NFL&ref=plSrch - not too expensive. I'm not sure about the truss rod cover, you might be right about it having been reversed, although mine is solid black. Enjoy your Thunder ⚡ projeKtWEREWOLF!

... and Wednesdays. There, I think that just about covers it.

You lucky werewolf! Original had knurled brass knobs with a grub screw - yours has most prob had plastic put on when someone knicked the brass ones for another project, or maybe just preferred the look. You know the rules - pics or it didn't happen! Love my Thunder 1A

You're in trouble now Ricky!

Vagazzle for the face!

Lucky blighter!

Those 13 months that you became a full-time musician weren't wasted. They were probably the perfect remedy for all the cr*p that you'd been through before. And just because you need to get a non-musical job, it doesn't mean that those months were wasted - you'll always have the skills & experiences from that time. As others have said - don't think of relegating your bass playing as a hobby behind a day-job, the day job is the hobby that pays for bass playing. Good luck with everything stewblack Nil carborundum est!

Wow! Big tour! Thats amazing! I'll consult SWMBO & see if we can make one of the Northern gigs.

Not just ok - de rigueur! 🤘🤣

Nice!

Is it any good for metal?

24 string bass??? Isn't that virtually a piano? Or a security fence.
