I'd be interested in a bass

They all look incredibly great! Yet so different. The natural looks way better than I'd imagine.

Awesomeness! Congrats on scoring a gorgeous instrument.

Okay found it on the mobile version. Sent message, after some figuring translations. : o

I can't read any of that. Email?

If available and feasible I'd grab it. But I'm US Illinois, 60101

I'd pay $200 in the blink of an eye. This is Europe though?

I picked up the Zymol. Great for clean/newer guitars. Not so keen on it's performance on the old gunky guitars. Though it made it look better on an early 70's Gibson, it didn't look right, and I'm sure it didn't clean it so much as, kind of mask what was needed to be removed. If that makes any sense. Just didn't look right. Those old guitars look 'odd' with that kind of oily gloss for lack of a better term. There is coconut oil, or something in it. Have to look at the label again. I want to try the Virtuoso cleaner and see how that would work. dave

That's kool.

I hear ya Jay. Trying to take the easy way. I suppose it's inevitable. Always nice to break it down to buff, and clean it right.

sometimes. If the Lacquer has been subjected to less Lacquer freindly polishes, it will soften the lacquer, making it feel sticky, etc. see below \/ This is what happens when you buy a used guitar. what its past, is unknown. So, to get past the cloudiness, and fogginess from naphtha, switch over to a cleaner (like virtuoso, etc.?), and rub, rub, rub your ass off til it clears up? Is there not an easier way? Pleez, I hope there would be.

Same here. Lots of bass playing the past several years, and now guitars with .009's feel like ukeleles and wet spaghetti! Prefer .011's lately big time!

Why's it seem whenever I use naphtha on these older guitars, they get foggy on me? They end up looking worse! I have to rub that shit out with a Mcguires/Mothers cleaner forever it seems. I assume the naphtha is loosening up years of 'furniture polish' that should never have been put on it for decades?!! Figured naphtha would work more effortlessly. Please confirm/clarify.

I have the same finish on my bass, and made an offer awhile back. Thought the ask was too high.

Wow, interesting stuff this week with WBPS#5, and then PAUL HAMER with a NEW GUITAR DESIGN!!!. How cool is that? Thanks L Nutter for posting photos. Raised On Radio wants to recruit you when we do some Rush! We never played that before. Hope to get some video up soon. Stay tuned!

Thanks L Nutter for coming out! I got some video I can post too. May take some time, as I'm pretty busy as well. Played WyldBil on Photograph, U Shook Me, and Rock U Like a Hurricane. Future rocker Evie Buck was cool enough to man the video for us. She got some nice close ups! Handed WyldBil over to L Nutter after the show with shipping box. WyldBil rocked in Itasca, IL 9/5/2014 There should be a ledger in its case to document it's travels. Hopefully Gene is recording all the stops. Cool beans!

Awesome to see L Nutter, MCCHRIS, and the others at The Throne Room to pick up WBPS#5. You guys rock. The WyldBil's next public appearance will be at my Raised On Radio show Friday September 5th, in Itasca, IL. We start at 8pm. I understand I'll be handing it off to L Nutter at that show. It's mostly an outdoor event, under a tent as part of the town's Oktoberfest celebration. We will be set up out front of Cucina Casale, which has great Italian food, and drink if you burn out on the German stuff. Come on out if you can! We should be hitting the first note at 8:00pm. RAISED ON RADIO - PARTY EXTRAVAGANZA! OKTOBERFEST CUCINA CASALE FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2014 210 N WALNUT STREET, ITASCA, IL 60143 Setting: Look for the big tent. Enjoy the outdoors! 8pm start time! www.RaisedOnRadioChicago.com For more info' Like our FaceBook page at www.FaceBook.com/RaisedOnRadioChicago Hope to see some of you there! dave

I love clubs. Don't leave before I get there. Should be at the show by 6:30-ish. May bring the fam' as it's 'all ages'.

Heading out later today to see MCCHRIS and the Wyldbil Pirate Special!

Raised On Radio gig in Itasca, Illinois September 5th. I'd surely rock it, if it's in Chicago area. Dave www.RaisedOnRadioChicago.com

That's a cool catch. Don't fret it!

0004. I personally saw it at Rick's Picks. I don't recall it looking 'orange' at all. I actually got to see it up close, and saw the back of the headstock had the serial struck/pressed into the wood, which I wouldn't have suspected. The laborers were working on the case it was being displayed in. btw... It was pretty hot in some of those cases which worried me. I think they were working on that very concern if I recall.

AWESOME! I like 3:31 Coolio!

Yes, I've been blessed with being able to play with incredible musicians. Heck, another former singer of mine just got mentioned as the new singer of KANSAS, to take on the spot of the departing Steve Walsh. Ronnie Platt's first gig with KANSAS will be 9/12/2014 in Oklahoma I believe. How cool is that? http://abcnewsradioonline.com/music-news/2014/7/16/kansas-welcomes-ronnie-platt-as-its-new-lead-singer.html

Thanks for answering my question on chambering. ^^ You think Mike may be able to use an old school classic truss rod cover? Those later ones bug me. Or is it a copyright issue? Would be sweet if he personalized them like Hamer would do back in the day.
