Man, messed around with music way too late...think I finally fell asleep around 7am. Just now having morning coffee:/
Did have a nice dream about playing a pale blue Cataldo NR41 though

It amused me that this post came through at 6:43am Sydney time. :)

Ugh........I mucked around too long and the Non Reverse RI I have been thinking about in Japan sold. :bawl:

Bad luck Russ, that’s normally my lament though. :)

Makes the choice easier I guess.
 
As much as I like the other 2 sets of knobs and will keep them for future use, no poll is necessary. I think the abalone look schweeeet! I'm a little disappointed they are not primarily blue/green as was specifically stated in the ad, but I still like ' em.

IMHO, the bass needs solid black knobs...

Here's a question.

Does anyone here know where one might find a finished P body in an outrageously blingy finish (purple glitter, silver flake) for not too many pesetas?

I'm asking for a friend...
Tell your "friend" that eBay is a good place to start, and that, if he/she were interested in getting one UN-finished… he/she could get something REALLY inexpensive…

Oh my friend is very fussy about finishes and couldn't bear a dodgy rattlecan finish. This particular individual in not in any hurry whatsoever and has other priorities anyway. They are just idly curious.

That '65 Starfire I is THE Starfire IMO. Only year with the single pickup in that position instead of at the neck like an EBO. Great sounding bass. A friend has two, I can't talk him out of one.
