OK! So we are in the final stretch. Since it has been so long since the bass has had strings on it, it will take a little time to settle in, then Kenny will adjust or cut the bridge for a comfortable string height.

   

   

   

The next picture I post should be one of me playing this beautiful instrument!

Dunno, I was wondering the same thing. We most likely won't be picking up the bass at Kenny's either so I won't get to check out the stuff he's got lying around. Have a look at the earlier restore pictures, there's an old motorcycle in the garage too. His yard looks like any one of the beach bars around here before the storm Smile

When i was about 15 my grandpa found an old velo-solex at the dump, it was lemon yellow. I worked on it for about a week, the internet didnt exist then and i kinda wish it did in this case. I managed to get it running very poorly and the motor siezed up on my first test drive, so back to the dump it went...

Nope. Yep. Kenny tightened the strings and something cracked and he had to reglue it. So October is a bust on picking it up since they're heading down to Florida for the month for Biketoberfest. Gave him half down though.
