I bought some from there before, also.
Nice stuff.

I don't think there is any way to prevent the old binding from going bad once it starts.

It sure does!
I didn't know it was a real '61. Assumed it was a new custom bass.

Indeed. Fireglo has varied over the years.

Nice herd!
Is that 4001, 4th from the left, missing it's pickup surround?

He never noticed that a Rick had the neck-through body? Where's he been?

Love that bass, btw! Just wish the guard wasn't so big. It's a shame to cover up that wood and finish, IMO.

Ah, I didn't know that.

I still think it's Scratch-X, but I could be wrong.

Zymol is a wax and I doubt it's going to remove the yellow.

Was it Scratch-X?

Be careful of spelling if you do a search.
You may get the wrong "product"!

Definitely more Duo Jet sized.

Not sure yet. Early into my Gretsch GAS.

Am I the only guy that just left a RIC event wanting to buy a Gretsch?

That's funny, I've been thinking about a Gretsch lately!

Hi Jim!

Nice post.
I hope you are well!

I'm resisting also.

Is this the one that had the shaved back of the peghead?
They mention a refin in that location.

I wonder if they'd trade for my P-bass?
