The neck took a lot of fussing with fret-wise but I got decent/playable action w/o buzzing. (51yr old neck was a bit wonky) I've taken it to one TSC's rehearsal and one Friday night jam session. (both last week) Love it. It's got a lot of character and the 2 singles kick - fit perfectly in both applications. There's something about these vintage basses - I just love playing them and love the way they sound. Will for sure use it when we record our 4 songs in January.
I'm in the process of restoring the artwork using Italian pure silver-leaf. The silver 'clouds' are aluminum-leaf and it has been scratched away in many places. (wasn't sealed well)
The top/center-right 'clouds' have been silver-leafed... the original aluminum-leafed 'clouds' below. Aluminum is a flatter silver than real silver-leaf.
There's another way to buy them?
I have two, actually. They take turns over which one is in the box

Here's a (maybe too much) hint......

Hey! I had one of those. Very good head and not glassy or cold sounding for SS. Some nice features as well. I did some weird stuff and blending the parametric in the other channel together to get a very thick full sound.
Holes, as we know them, are only phenomenological experiences. Who knows what they are in themselves. But we can't actually know that since we are limited to our perception of the experience.

I am pretty sure it’s probably the one I returned due to paint issues. Check and see if there is a clear blemish on the headstock under the curve. Especially if it seems in between the green and the faded blue the one I returned seemed to have a very off paint job.

LOL. I can see that the empty bottles in exhibit A would/could cause the camera holder to have trouble deciding between vertical and horizontal. Or just going with both!thx Donnie….one should still not be doing this…

What I could hear of the playback sounded great!

Given his lack of "self-control" we might call it, there's so many funny things that could be said about that pic.....

Me too! - my latest may go Daphne blue and it will have creme side binding like this one. I also like the dark stained hs face - I've made a note of it!
Was gonna make a Bevis and Butthead comment about Olaf’s package, but it looks like that horse has already been beaten. Carry on.
When I was at UPS earlier, guy told me the full package for the amp head was 36 lbs. - this is without the packaging
...so, now my work-in-progress project has both of its main parts
