He just came to pick it up. He payed £48 for this about 20 years ago. I think he did OK.

So I’ve got a few interesting pedals in for repair at the moment but what really takes the cake is what I believe to be an early Marshall Supa Wah. The suspected supa wah has a slightly different case and the entire circuit is potted in epoxy.. Sadly it is currently non functional with some suspect wiring but I’m hoping to get it working without breaking into the potted block!

Groovy. I love old Boss drum machines.

Shaftesbury Rickenbacker style bass. Need to try to figure out the wiring because it appears to have been bodged so that the pickups were just going straight to the output. Wires from the pickups were just wrapped around random points with no solder.

Uuuu yum yum. Are you gonna part with it later?
Wiring pickup direct to output was what I did to my ibanez blazer years ago, it was hell of a p-bass and this 'mod' just killed.
