Restoration: Roadstar (II) to hell

[handofseven]

BUMP ups for my favourite restoration thread that isn't getting love from its OP lately... hint hint.

 

[chris1125]

Oh man that's a stunner, I really want to see that headstock with the new coin!

 

[Bitterdale]

... I'll try and keep updates a little more frequent.

 

[Solarmist]

I actively seek this thread very frequently.

I don't know why, but I am fascinated to see the finished product now.

^ Yeah me too - I'm sure anxious to see the finished product as well. I've got an 86' in (stock) black, and they also came in white & red, but this one in blue looks awesome!

Any new progress? You left us hangin'

GAH!!! 13 pages of "I can't stop reading this and OH MAN LOOK AT THAT!!! Hmm will he re do.. OH YEAH HE WENT FOR IT!! Would I have had the courage to? I wonder whats nex.... WHOA!! What a GREAT IDEA!!"

And now....





I wait.........................

 

[Prostheta]

Agreed. Usually it does nothing but fill the OP with a false sense of ego or just annoy them with the thread filling up with useless comments. Deep irony in posting this, obviously.

No danger of this. As he stated earlier, Dave is a busy man, but his dedication is beyond question. Look at the quality of work here. Awesome. Having said that; DAVE! Hurry up, man! We need this bass completed and sound sampled!

DAVE! Hurry up, man! We need this bass completed and sound sampled!

^^What he said!!! Dave, any progress??? We are all very anxious to see how she turned out!!!!!!
(suspense is killing me....must find something else to occupy time with....hmmm, need to build a workshop........)

This project looks like it has gone through a lot of trauma!! But I absolutely love the way it's come along and how whenever anything comes up, you always rise to the challenge!

Please keep us posted on the fantastic work soon, I bet that despite all the set-backs you love it really!

 

[Nugun]

Darling, please don't make me wait too long. I wanna love your Ibby. Can't you see it's only you I want. And you I need?

 

[SallyGrowler]

Bump - any update on the project?

 

[thebassbuilder]

I hope everything is OK. It has been a while.

 

[A-Step-Towards]

[rojo412]

I was JUST thinking that, this morning! It's a great candidate for that.

 

[TinIndian]

I just grabbed it! This thread had me too intrigued and that was too good to pass up! It'll take some work but should be well worth it!

Glad someone here did, I would have but I am drowning in basses over here-I hope you asked him to include the case with it.

 

[TinIndian]

Oh yeah, case included. Musty, moldy smell and all! Should be here Monday. It'll be a good project bass.

 

[A-Step-Towards]

Nice, even though its stinky i am pretty sure thats the original case. Be sure to post some progress pics, should be pretty sweet!

 

[TinIndian]

Will do. Nice thing with the one I picked up is it's all there. except for the caps on the back of the tuning machines? Kind of weird, but I already found some similiar ones to replace them with. Gonna keep it purple too.

Anyone heard from the OP? He hasn't even been on here since the begining of july. Hope he's OK.

 

[4dog]

I hope hes ok ,,cause this is waaaay better than waiting for new "walking dead",, im literally on the edge of my freakin seat.
