Sidequest: cleaning up the BB bass.
I picked up this instrument (Yamaha BB 424) last summer on the cheap as it was languishing in a basement in Stratford. I was able to fix the neck bow a few days ago so now it's finally time to clean up the fretboard and try to coax out some thump with La Bellas, which I've been wanting to try for a while. Hoping to use this for a few tunes on a pop gig I've got coming up.
