IIRC that one is a relic refinish already. Glad to see it landed in the club!Awesome addition to the flock Chuck!
That one seemed like a better than fair asking price all things considered, glad to see someone snatch it up that will appreciate its potential. If you haven’t already, you might want to reach out to Scott to see if he has any updated bridges left, I think he was running low on them.
So, are the plans to keep it as is, or restore it, or just play the heck out of it?
Please, for the love of Thunderbirds, don't use that "case" (as Gibson called them) tonight.thx George! seems like it intonates ok….one of the few ones I’ve seen with what seems like an intact headstock….joining a blues band called King Bee…. will put it through its paces at practice tonight….
And if everybody did that, this world would be a much better place!
David Bowie (Jones) was in a band called The King-Bees! That's him in the middle. Have fun rockin' that Bad Boy!thx George! seems like it intonates ok….one of the few ones I’ve seen with what seems like an intact headstock….joining a blues band called King Bee…. will put it through its paces at practice tonight….
I have a set of the QC II earbuds that I wear for the same effect- also work really well when using power tools on the boat, doubling as ear protection-

Congratulations. You really scored. What a great surprise for all of us. I can't think of a better place for that bass to have ended up.
Your first post showing it had me doing about three doubletakes.

There's not problem too big for Duct Tape.
Shameless hoarder! You have a '64.I think my place would have been a better place for it to have ended up!
But I can't blame you. I would have liked to been in a position to take a stab at it myself.
never seen a lower action in a bass in my life….frets perfect, no buzz…. @SubHuman asked, came strung with Chromes and sounds phenomenal unplugged…I’ll post more pics of the neck ….
Or mine. I’m jealous. But happy that Chuck was able to snag it.I think my place would have been a better place for it to have ended up!
Interested in hearing how chromes sound on it. Will you be keeping them on it?
Not a fan of the top one. But the bottom one looks cool. Something in a blue would be really cool.
I really dig it Chuck! I love a low action neck too. I like Chromes and just bought a set for my Pro IV.
