New to the Board. Sorta...

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

S. ( Scott )

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.

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

Actually built one of those too!

But that wasn't what I was refering to.

Hmmm...

I do remember some WWII discussions at the old place.
