Just got this bass back from the doctor (Glaser Instruments).
It had almost everything done to it. More specifically- fingerboard planing, refret, fingerboard refin, Plek dress. I also replaced the mute system on the bridge, even though there's a .0001% chance I'll ever actually use it.
I put .40-.95 Sunbeams on it. There was also a rubber stamp of what I'm guessing may have been somebody's band name on the headstock. Took care of that too.
It feels, plays, and sounds great, and I think it's beautiful.
Still working on some electronic issues. Had to replace the jack and a badly gnarled volume pot which looked like it took a massive smack at some point. All I have to do now is get the pickup selector toggle replaced, as it has worn out as well. That should take care of everything.
This bass has seemingly been the victim of a lot of abuse and a few bad ideas somewhere over the course of its 35 years on Earth.
It's really solid and the neck is just to die for. It's also going to scratch my Stingray itch, so I'm less bummed about selling my Ray.
Anyway, the important part- pix:
