and a new nut:

All I had for tools was my Victorinox multipliers and a couple of screwdrivers, so it took some doing!!

Well... happy as I got the thing done I recorded this clip (metal):

...just to show my friends that the damn thing still works!!!!!

..Happy Easter to all.

The "damn thing" is definetly still working! ...Nice tone on this clip...well balanced and full! What kind of bass is it?

Thanks!

...I was about to ask how people like the tone.. I like it.
It's a Fernandes jazz-bass, old as hell and beat up, but my favorite over a no-name precision and a peavey with humbuckers. Some additional coloring by a EH Black Finger compressor, which I fell in love with..

The last one is of my "nutjob".. rough, but works.

Ernie Ball regular slinky-strings, the fattest four of a 5-string set.

I'm dreaming of picking up some nicely patterned wood and turning it to a pick-guard...
