The orange decal on the tuning mechanism is reflective vinyl... without a flash it would be orange... but you'll "shine" on stage :rofl:
This one has the new ABM tuning system and bridge. new pups, new pots, new knobs, new jack. new string clamp up top.
New vinyl decals. paint already has some chips :cry: it's not an A-1 refinish job but its tons better than what it was... the edge of the fretboard has some remnants of the prior finish problems. no case...

Hey McB....

You a member over at the Westone Forum?? You should post these there as well.

Or I could crosslink this thread over there, you pm me a contact email and I could provide it to anyone interested over there.

I used to be, but I can't remember my ID or password. the forgot password function requires you know your ID. I tried to register thinking I hadn't before and it said my email address is in use... and I've had me email address for 10+ years....

Corsair can probably help with that, since he's the head moderator over there.

I've got a vinyl cutter. it hooks up like a regular printer, but instead of having a print head, it has a cutting blade. You set the design up in it's own software, and after it cuts everything, you then go back and remove the unwanted vinyl, leaving the final decal, then you apply the application tape over the top...

It's just another hobby (distraction) I picked up while working on old subarus :)
but it has come in handy for projects like this too...

bump. gotta move some stuff out...

These were fun to resto-mod (since they are not a true restoration) but now 2 playable basses exist where none did before...

$300 each shipped.

Original Silver Gig bag goes to the first one that sells...

$300? Man, it hurts to not have $300 to spare, cause that's a good price and I want one...

I wish. That one is calling to me but I am moving and thinking more along the lines of fewer basses. Good luck.
