Rebuilt Bass Day that is. I got the bass very cheaply with a destroyed, warped neck, huge chunks of finish missing, and corroded hardware (water damage maybe?) and took it on as my next project. Finally got it all back together after weeks of letting the varnish cure, finish work, and assembling the myriad of parts. It could use a few tweaks for sure, but as of now, it plays very well after I set it up and I really enjoy the new neck! The pickups are a little underwhelming (stock) and that may be the next upgrade along with a preamp. I was really excited when I saw how good the flame maple top looked under varnish. better as a blonde?
