Well it's here ! Thanks again Anthony for all your help. Lets start with the headstock repair. Stable but not the best looking job a bit overkill imho. I looks like the entire headstock is done in fiberglass or carbon fiber, you can see the dimple pattern of the weave. There is a big metal plate from the nut extending past the truss rod cavity. This makes a rather large hump on the top of the headstock UGLY. the good news is that it isn't moving. The bass had a pro refin in metalic black/purple, If I wasn't going to redo the headstock I would leave it this color it's pretty cool and as I said well done. Now for the good news everything is here, no parts hunting for this baby. The truss rod functions just fine. I gave the bass a quick cleaning, removed the trim washers from under the pots and installed the correct small ones., cleaned the fingerboard and put the tuners back on. The bass plays great, low action and sounds like a good Tbird should. All in all I'm very happy now I'm just thinking about how to approach the headstock. Pics soon.
