That BLMS sticker rocks. As far as I know, he's not making those anymore; now they just say "Love My Switches". I guess he pussed out. I still have some of the old square style styickers, not sure if I have any of the cool round ones like that. So pleasing how nice it fits on your project.

Hahaha, no. I was relying on someone else to provide sound on that date. Nice amp though.
When in doubt, add resistance.

This should be fun.

I've had this headstock for 30 odd years. I placed it on a peg
on the wall that my bench is screwed too. That peg was a convenient
place in the moment that was used again under the same circumstances
that resulted in out of sight out of mind syndrome. For quite a while.

Oh hey! Looks like a late 1970s Gibson RD standard bass headstock. I look forward to seeing what you build with it.

The possibility of the gathering whole bass proper is on my mind.

Do you mean recombining the original parts? Not out of the question, I'll have to look back and see what I've got into it. It's still unassembled, I was quoted an estimate of $650-950 from a local luthier and other stuff keeps eating down the gear budget - so it remains body, an unworked neck blank from 1981, an a hard shell case that's probably better off staying with me because DIM weight shipping charges will probably over reach the value of the case.

1. It's still unassembled

2. other stuff keeps eating down the gear budget
Are all the other parts still around?

You can keep the case.

Not sure what you mean here about other parts. I've got the complete body (with electronics still mounted) and a neck blank.
