backwater Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I found this and wondered if any of the wood was recoverable?

neepheid Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'd love to have a go at this! Can't see how I could make it any worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodaxe Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Ye Gods. Looks like long-term water damage. How? I'd suspect the integrity of any glued joints (like the three-piece body) & wonder about the state of the truss rod. If the latter's fine it should be salvageable.

99ster Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) Looks like it's been at the bottom of a canal for the last 10 years! Seriously - that would cost you a lot more to fix than you could buy a nice '78 vintage Musicmaster bass for - in perfect condition! In fact there's a nice looking '77 on eBay now for £400. To get this poor thing back to the same condition - properly restored for £400? No chance. RIP. Edited August 13, 2007 by 99ster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
