Woke up this morning to a private message from a guy I talk to on a forum. He's offering me a five string bass, ebony fretboard, ash body, active pickups, G&L neck, no tuners and a possibly jammed truss rod for a grand total of nowt. AND he's delivering it to me for free on the 20th. It's been a good day.
All I need now is five tuners and maybe refret the neck on it
