Fender Marcus Miller Redux - Now Finished


AndyTravis

Recommended Posts

Had a Fender MM for years.

Loved it. Gigged it, played it daily for about 6/7 years.

My ex put us in a position and I had to sell pretty much everything to get us out of it.

I missed that sound - but still, years later hadn’t bought another - I wanted my original one, but the lovely guy who I’d sold it to (Nick) had lost track of who he’d sold it to.

I set out to find another - and found 2.

I was in a position to buy both.

Now, if you were on basschat 10 years ago - I actually ran a poll on what finish I should have put on my original MM as it was a bit battle scarred.

Anyhow - I’ve decided on my colour and I will reveal more later.

The natural one is rough, light and plays well - but the body has multiple dinks and inexplicably a sanded area on the back of the top horn.

So my plan from 2009/10 is about to come into play.

Tonight was disassembly.

Looks like my man has a window to do my work.

the process will take 6-8 weeks.

Body has arrived with Dave Wilson, as suspected...the dinks and knocks in the body means he may have to sand further than the sealer coat - they’re not massive holes or anything, but would be disruptive to a metallic paint job.
