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-

what's that big white thing by the neck pickup? is it a switch? if so, it is huge.
It's a pair of on-off rocker switches- one for each pickup.

I love that bass. It has the best neck and best tone of any bass I've ever played, not to mention just how cool it looks. I'm so excited to have back in top shape.

Oh, I dunno if anybody noticed, but it has one replaced tuner, and that 'headstock pickguard' is only held on by the tuners and a single screw up at the top corner. You gotta learn to love the quirks.
