noirpunk Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Had my eye on a particular '90 for a while now. She's justifiable now since her location isn't too far away. Snag is I gotta prise her out of her owners hands. Saw her today and my god the pics on the listing don't do her justice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmsheep Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 [quote name='wmsheep' post='153375' date='Mar 7 2008, 09:39 PM']I`m the third owner of a shortscale `65 of unknown origin; a bit of an enigma as she`s not a jazz and certainly not precision. She`s due for some cosmetic work to the body soon (a problem with one of the curves on the body), and hopefully this will suit us both. Soundwise, she has a tendancy to be very loud, and emits a horrible whining noise when ignored for more than 10 minutes (less than 10 minutes if I`m seen eyeing up newer models).[/quote] Got mine back from the workshop now - was a bit inconvenient as she was originally in for 5 days, then out for a couple, then back in the bodyshop for another 10. HOWEVER, I`m more than happy about the quality of work done; OK, so they recycled 100% but they`ve taken and used bits from a normally unseen area so it`s not really noticable. Just a little more bodywork to be scheduled for a couple of months time, but that should only take an hour or so. Still has a tendancy to whine a lot tho`.
