Anyhow, here's a proper photograph, will add more and a write up in time. Still need to get the electronics and a proper set up under control.

Re: 62 Bass VI...[Finally a new Headstock)
Thanks all. None of those pictures are clear enough to see where the braided ground shielding goes. But I have a feeling with all things from that era, it's hardly consistent.

That really is incredible. I'm so glad that there are people restoring instruments to their glory. It's mind blowing!

Thanks all. Will hopefully get the full story for the library soon.
Would also be nice to restore the case which is a mess. Any experience with that?

just find someone who repairs luggage. They'll know what to do. Member 'dain' had his VI case repaired by a luggage & case repair shop in LA and it came out nice I thought...

Re: 62 Bass VI...Finally!
Just cruising the offset vintage restorations and came across this wild one. Bass VI's are incredible and the masterful bringing back to life of this beauty was amazing to see. Hope this inca silver dream is getting used as much as possible. Cheers on a one-of-a-kind project.
