warwickhunt Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 "notice the head has also pulled forward after leaving it for years under tension" So have I been doing it all wrong these last 30+ years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass Doc Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 The 'small' bit says "offset contour body patented". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 He`s no kidding about the laminate crack in the neck. But what bit of the neck is laminated? Does he mean laquer? What is he on about? It looks like it has cracked across and caused the head to bend due to the tension. He`s good at putting the strings on as well, nice and even. Go on, someone e mail him about the bend and report back asap. Anyway, a right steal at the price. I`ll be watching this one, guffaww, guffaww.
