Thanks Jon, Dan and Beth

[Rod Trussbroken]

Just got my 1994 Ray back from San Luis to Australia.

What can a guy say...but thanks!

Initial arrangements with Beth, Jon did the work and Dan organised the shipping back here.

I know that others were involved behind the scene and thank them aswell.

Five star service and craftsmanship.

Thanks guys. Y'all an asset to company Ball

What was the reason for having it shipped? Complete overhaul?

 

[Moondog]

How is the fine Mary Kaye now?

>>>What was the reason for having it shipped? Complete overhaul?

Incorrectly stored for 10 years. I got a new neck done.

>>>How is the fine Mary Kaye now?

I think we're the only two on the Forum with Mary Kayes. The fret dressing on this baby is something to behold

 

[strummer]

Pictures, I demand pictures. Cloesups, my good man!

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Yeah, I know the rules

This is an old composite. I'll have to do new pics.

In what way was the storing inappropriate?

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Should I Tort it or leave it Matt Black?

 

[Bill]

I like this finish. Gavin and Moondog are the ONLY two people I've ever seen with this finish. I personally like the black PG but the Tort would most likely look great too!

The Rosewood had dried out. In the end, it came up ok with lemon oil but but a bit dead on the E string. Perhaps I was too particular. Anyhow, it's a killer now.

And here I was, hoping for a "leaning in the corner by the fireplace for ten years"-story

Congrats on the new fret board then!

Glad you like it, Gav!

It used to be Musicman Nuts Bass (Dave). He sold it to a tech at Seymore Duncan.

It was stored on their premises for years. I imagine it was the air conditioning as it can dry the air.

Oh, Matte Black by all means!
