back to life?

[Derrick Fernandez]

I'm thankful for this wonderful forum, the advice and offers.

Sorry if my posting raised anyone's blood pressure today, surely was not my intent.

Okay I know this bass wasn't made by a master craftsman but I love it regardless, it has character in spades, is in great shape, and deserves better than to languish unplayed as it has for the past 50 years (or so i'm told by the seller).

As I mentioned before it would be great to have all the work that Ken mentioned done (even though it would exceed the value), but I think the 1st step is to have it inspected, set-up and playing to get a sense of the tonal quality.

Thanks to all!
