What a difference a year makes.....lots of stuff came and went. The Yamaha YC-30 is gone, as is the Rick bass and Vox amp. The Daisy is still for sale, I’m no longer borrowing the pink Tele. I also flipped a Fender Champion 30, a Blues Jr and got rid of some cheap keyboards.
New stuff is a $25 Cort Bass with a twisted neck I bought yesterday and converted to fretless, a Bronco bass, Silvertone Bobkat, Danophobe DC3 and Yamaha SA-80t. I also picked up a bunch of new keyboards now, Firstman FO999s organ, CZ-5000 and Nord Electro 2. Also finally have a new PA system (Fender Passport Venue) and playing with a new band down here again.

Do you think it could be made good?
I’ve had a couple of goes since that post about it and have come to the conclusion that the neck is fucked unfortunately. Truss rod is as tight as it can go now and there’s still a pretty big bow, which sucks. Maybe someone with more skills than me could fix it, but it’s definitely not worth me paying someone to do that. Fuck Aug.Hurb wrote:Do you think it could be made good?

Bowed forward?
Such a shame. If you were closer I would be happy to look at for you. Could maybe clamp it straight?
Yeah bowed forward. I might clamp it at some point, it’s on the list of things to do. Am putting together a jazzy partscaster at the moment so it’ll be a while.Hurb wrote:Thom wrote:I’ve had a couple of goes since that post about it and have come to the conclusion that the neck is fucked unfortunately.

Cheers mate, appreciate it. I might just take you up on that when the girls go back to school in a couple of weeks.Hurb wrote:If you can be arsed with the trouble and postage cost I am still furloughed so happy to have a look at it
It’s 24�. Been looking out for a lefty squier shortscale but no joy yet. Plus that would mean routing the neck pocket too.Doog wrote:What scale is it?
