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.
