Scored a slightly dented TLA-1 as a special recently. Service was fantastic - ordered Sunday - delivered Tuesday morning. Can't ask for more than that.
Overall the damage is fairly minor - looks like a chip out of the bottom bout.
Looks like a couple of options:
* Sand it out;
* Fill and solid colour (at least on the edge) or
* Bind the edge with enough binding to remove the chip.
Not sure what to do at this stage, but leaning towards sanding it out.
Overall plans - not totally certain, but likely au natural with a black pickguard to complement a couple of basses I have - alternatively - dark brown from some runout Wudtone. Thinking to upgrade bridge (maybe Joe Barden), electronics (Bournes and Orange Drops) and recess the jack. Would like to upgrade the pups as well as I think this may be a player, but could do that later once I start playing .
