skeeter944 · 12-28-06, 11:13 AM

wow,i had no idea! oops,sorry.

bassintom · 12-28-06, 11:13 AM

hopefully it'll look almost exactly like this one

but the guy redoing the body found a huge crack in it and now he won't touch it.checking into my options on this dilemma.

JB · 12-28-06, 11:50 AM

how many years ya been playing the guitar tom?

bassintom · 12-28-06, 12:55 PM

started as a teen,then gave up on it for 10 or so years.picked it up again when i bought this mustang back in '76.played till about '80 when i switched to bass guitar.played the mustang occasionally in a couple bands.put it away back in 85 or so.just brought it back out about 4 months ago,then decided the old girl needed a facelift so here i am stuck...the bass is on consignment to be sold eventually.all i have right now is a cheapo arianna electric that belongs to my daughter and a 12 string epiphone acoustic.i am totally sick about the mustang.
just put in a bid on a mustang body on e-bay till i get mine fixed(hopefully).

Bassntom, I wish I could play guitar. When I was a kid, I cut lawns and saved for an electric. I eventually bought the guitar (Ibanez) but had no money left for lessons. Ultimately, I sold the thing. I wish I had kept it.

bassintom · 12-28-06, 01:53 PM

lessons???????i can't read music.

bassintom · 01-20-07, 10:22 PM

still have to swap out the neck(in the shop being refretted) and put a different pickguard on it(on backorder).

bassintom · 01-20-07, 10:26 PM

skeeter944 · 01-20-07, 10:28 PM
