I am too.  But get that 70s neck off of there!

Donations to buy an appropriate 60's neck will be cheerfully and gratefully received.  The truss rod broke in the original neck two days before a major gig around 1971 and I had to have the neck replaced FAST.  Back then, it was just a bass...no reason to worry about the old neck.  I'm not interested in laying out the coin for an original replacement, as I'm not hung up on having it "all original", which it can never be again anyway.

Now the whole thing is "vintage" coz I've become an old fart.  If you keep your stuff long enough, most of it becomes "vintage".
