Well there ya go....That tells me that a little of the oil goes a long way! Results is results.

It's all on you brother. I'm a firm believer in the "you gotta play it first" school of thought. I will tell you this: As a 56 year old who's been playing bass for 45 years, I've had many basses pass through my hands. I never would have thought that, after owning and playing some seriously high...

Allergies. Clearly a sneeze at the drill press.

That's a gem!

A grand for that lil MIM thang? Pass.

Been using Old English Lemon Oil for decades with no ill effects. Conditions the wood nicely and has a bit of petroleum distillates that do a great job of cleaning the schmutz.

I would leave as is, as long as it plays great. That's a unique instrument and, while it's not a vintage fender, will increase in value - and more so if unaltered. Old wear is authentic, it tells a story of it's life. It would be a shame to delete that history.

I saw Claypool a few years back and Stanley Clarke last week. The audience at both were filled with adoring fans who ate up every frenetic note. I however was left cold and unmoved. So no, you're not the only one.

I've got three Foundations, all strung with D'Addario EXL170.

My opinion is thus: Owning both an American Elite Precision as well as a Squier Classic Vibe Precision allows me the opportunity to scrutinize each end of the spectrum. In a nutshell, the Classic Vibe has noticeably better fit, finish and attention to detail in it's build quality. It's hardware...
