I found mine on CL about 5 miles from my house, it had been listed for almost a month when I found it.  It needs a headstock repair.  Initially I was going to part it out but the plan now is to repair/restore it.  When I get around to the pickguard I'll do you one at the same time.  Not going to be for a while though.

Well, considering I've owned this bass...twice...since 1981, and it's had the same homemade pickguard for about 20 years, I think I can wait.   :mrgreen:

Probably more than one judging by what I paid.


You got a steal of a deal on that..If you look at what MOST are going for, Ive seen them going for around $3,500 to $7,000

They'd end up in the gumbo if they got near Carlo's shack-on-the-bayou... ;D

Copycat!!!

No contest - Carlo's is constructive, mine is destructive... :o ;)

Amazing what 70 years on the dark side of the moon can do for you. Good (Aryan?) genes obviously.

I wanna see that film too. 90 minutes of it will probably überstay their welcome, but it is so wonderfully respectless, trashy and low-PC, you gotta love it. It caught wry smile reviews in Germany - twenty years ago it would have all been long-faced, achingly earnest to pious treatises on why you cannot portray Nazis like that without belittling their horror.

Due to a bunch of requests, this movie was actually shown at a theater here in town a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, I was not in town that night.

Jawohl meine Kommandant! :D I've seen the movie, it is beyond hilarious. It's a good thing you Krauts finally started to see things more relaxed about all this Nazi thingie! ;)
