So, I bought a brand new set of flats for my old Teisco (had a set of dead-as-hell rounds on it, so I figured flats would be a comparable replacement), fixed the strap pin that had broken off, and bought a new strap (straps and cables seem to just vanish into thin air all the time...sorta like socks and underwear).
My god, it's like a whole new beast. The new strings sound great (there was this unpleasant buzzing and overall weakness on the low E, but that seems to have disappeared) and now that I can finally strap it on again, I can actually use it for practise and gigs.
I'm just really happy that my favourite bass is back in business, and better than ever, so I figured I'd share.
Here's a photo for those who don't know-
