Hi

I've just bought a 1962 Grimshaw SB30 BASS guitar

Literally picked it up yesterday for £250

Slight damage where different pickups and god knows what else were screwed into the bodywork which has cracked the laquer etc

I love the way it looks - Les Paul shape mustard sunburst - especially the beaten used look, I play in a rock band and it fits the image (cringe) like a glove!
It plays extremely well, great smooth neck, worn pickups and very low action though I'm starting to worry a little about its ability to hold tune. Got a guarantee though

If anyone could offer any opinions etc I'd be most grateful
