Thanks again and I will defo post the results and costs etc 👍

That looks great Mart. Where abouts can I find contact details for Shuker please.

Thanks Big RedX. You are right about the milky look and I agree that it will lift shortly unless addressed. It's lived in numerous kinds of vehicles over a period of about 20 years but lives in my nice warm spare room / studio now. It's probably due to years of sweaty gigs then damp vehicles.

👍 👍

Thanks Manton Customs. I think this might be the way to go.

Thanks Reggaebass, I'll have to check out some costs I think eh!

Thank you Ralf1e, I'm in Widnes Cheshire. Your bass looks really smart by the way.

Thanks for the advice burns bass👍

Thanks to everyone for the responses. Certainly leaves a lot to think about. The body is fine and thr front of the head stock is OK too. There is some lifting at the back of the head stock but nothing that gets in the way. It just seems to be the neck from the top nut to the body. Probably hasn't helped being exposed to 20 odd years on nicotine filled clubs and venues! It is stripped at the moment but here are some more pics. I am keen to keep it as original as possible as I was the second owner from new having bought it from a friend who never gigged it, but I need to be able to play it.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I'm not really bothered so much about getting the bass re finished. I was wondering really if there was a way of stopping it all lifting and if it keeps falling off will it create problems with the bare wood underneath. It is a natural finish with maple neck. You can feel the ridge on the fret board where it has cracked off. Maybe you can see from the attached pics. I am in Widnes Cheshire.

Hi all. I have a 1978 precision that has been severely gigged by me since 1980. I don't gig now but use it for recording. The surface lacquer is cracking and some hefty pieces have flaked off recently. Is there anywhere that I could go to with regard to removing and re finishing the surface? Thank you in advance guys.
