I'm moving to Wordpress....

Following consultation with my wife, who knows about these things, I've decided to switch allegiance to Wordpress. Click here to be taken to the new blog.

New Project - Turning a Sow's Ear into a Silk Purse....

This is my step son Dan's old bass. When he moved out, he left it behind and said he didn't want it any more. I've always wanted a Music Man but can't be bothered to save up for a real one, so I thought I'd take this ancient relic and do it up.

It needs:

• A new bridge
• New tuners
• New volume/tone knobs
• New nuts to hold the volume/tone controls on
• New strings

I've sourced replacements from e-Bay and will shortly start rebuilding it. It's a Nevada clone, so probably not worth much more than the cost of the replacement parts, but it's a challenge and if I can make a daily player out of it, it will be money and effort well spent.
