Welcome G!

As you may have gathered by now this is the place for Gibby mod/repair/collecting/playing/discussing/collecting(Uwe!)/etc. not to discount the other fine forums around the net. Rest assured you're among friends with advice on getting you're long lost/found EB back in shape.

Just don't get them started on WWII fighters and..........Oh well, you'll find out soon enough!

Great Save/Great Project!

Cheers  :thumbsup:

Thank you all for making me feel so welcome!
Yes, it seems like I know most of you from "another life"
or at least another board or two...
 ;)

My goal is to give it to my son
(who also plays)
for his 16th birthday next year.
Which would be the same age I was when I got it.


Hiya Gonzo~
Nice to see ya. That's  a bittersweet story if I ever heard one.
SO cool to put that together for your son!

Gonzo good to see you here ! That poor bass, glad you got her back and are going to put her right. I don't have a two point bridge but I might have studs I'll let ya know.

Well, it looks like I may have a line on an old 2 point bridge without studs from drbassman,
so please let me know!!!

Looking forward to it actually.
The Lancaster dam buster was always one of my faves.
Built the model when I was a wee lad, I did.

Welcome Gonzo.  That will make a such a nice heirloom for your son! 

I'll happily bequeath my very first bass - a errm.. lovely early 80s Cort p-bass copy - to my boys ;D

Actually built one of those too!

But that wasn't what I was refering to.  :mrgreen:
