I wouldn't change the finish or tinker too much, keep it period correct, "warts" and all. But BEAD and 80s distortions are surely a must for this bass??!

AndyTravis Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Just put the new schaller BMF’s on. not happy with the pickup screws I’ve bought to replace the other ones I wasn’t happy with. but, the headstock chips are disappearing.

AndyTravis Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Still waiting on the bridge for this...been 3 weeks. Not best pleased that I’ve had stuff from China and Germany for this, but a bridge from the south of England hasn’t made it. Also doesn’t help that as I’ve ramped up questions/asked for a refund...seller has gone quiet. Anyhow, will move on with the rest and see what I can find to replace the idea of the replacement.

AndyTravis Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Replaced the neck plate with a black gotoh, replaced the bridge with a black gotoh. So. I need to find some decent pickup screws. And I want to check over the jack socket as it’s a barrel unit and it’s a bit on/off. I’ve taken out the battery box which will be stripped and resprayed. then it’s “finished” So I then decide what I’m doing with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Oh. And I replaced the strap buttons with black gotoh ones as the others were super worn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Yeah. Most likely. I basically got this a bit cheaper than what they go for as it’s not pristine. But as I’ve bought bits it’s probably just as well I don’t spend £300 on a paint job as I’d end up about £200 down if I sold it after. it currently owes me about as much as a rough one would go for. see how I feel when I’ve done the battery box.

AndyTravis Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Well. After a bit of messing about...it’s more or less finished. And May be going on a trade to a mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Going to go over the infill on the headstock again - not perfectly flattened. Happy with it as a “repair” though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
