A glorious thread....in hindsight :).

Since yer here...got a stock that has a bit of light greenish mold on it....wiped most off. Been wanting to rub some Tru-Oil on it....go ahead or something else/before?

Thanks David...

Life is good :cool: what a great thread to revive, wishing you a long happy life

Wish I'd listened more to what I body was telling me :(

Seven years? That was seven years already? Seems like last year. It's great you're still with us.

Glad you're still with us.SmileWavy

If it is an oil finish, i would wipe it down with alcohol let it dry then 0000 steel wool the top coat. Then rub some tru oil on it. Mold is hard to get rid of. You could also use a mild bleach water solution. Then proceed.

Well done David coz you listened to the forum members. I am happy you are here and in good health. I enjoy your posts particularly your old MG and newer 914 ones.
Cheers, Guy

7 years?
Wow time flies by.
Glad you had the (7 year) itch to keep livin'....

Like the others, I'm amazed at how quickly 7 years have passed.
Life is definitely better on this side of the lawn!

This. Wow, seven years. Glad we got to keep ya around all those years, and for many more!

seems like last week. Here is to your continued health!

David!
The true joy would be if you learned to play something better than bass ! :D

Glad you heard the wake up call. Seven more years on the good side of the sod.
Keep the tunes coming.
(Plus I'm really glad you cleared up the confusion I had when I read someone had green on his stock.. That was awkward for a second.)

Yeah, I was thinking penicillin.
Time sure flies! I remember that thread. Hoping for another good 7 years for you David, and another, and another.

David,

In truth, it was just a year earlier I lost a local musician friend to cancer. Keeping the tunes on earth seems to be a worthwhile endeavour these days.

This is truly an amazing place. Even for a durn forner. SmileWavy

My man.

Best from Jack and myself, to MJ as well: You are a good Dude.

IDK much if anything about gunstocks but they are wood, at least in Targa's world. What works for mold on wood can be several things. Boric acid, oxalyic acid and vinegar all come to mind. As usual, test on a small spot.

Bleach might work too, but it does have an effect that may not be desirable — lightening the shade of the wood.

Likewise on the survival of a stroke. Another 7 and another and another....

OMG!! Seven Years ???? I also remember it like it was yesterday. So glad you're still with us and hope you stay for many, many years to come. I think it's sort of an odd and unique thing so many people here have been around for soo long things like this seem recent.

Wow, time flies!
That was one of our most significant and memorable threads.
So glad we were able to give you the nudge needed to get to help quickly.

Yep your car threads in the mean time have been good. But you spoon restoration threads are my favorites.

It's good you are still with us David!

Cheers Richard

7 years......yeah, that was fast!

Glad you are still with us, David.

Always enjoy your postings....your wit....your wisdom.

All the best to you and yours! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat6.gif

Yessir! Happy you're still with us!

Happy 7th.

And that one act 7 years ago makes up for PARF for the past 7 years and the next 70 years.

Super glad that you're still with us!!

What they all said!

That thread is why I love this place. We may complain and get on each other once in a while but that event shows just how much heart this place has and why I keep coming back.

OK, which one of you broke the mirror?

J/k,
glad to still have you around with or without frets.

Glad you are still on this side of the grass.

You still have that groovy acoustic bass?

And fortunately, no one moves up one in line!

Oh yeah. I’m playing acoustic guitar now as well. Bought a nice Guild F 1512 and tomorrow I pick up a Gibson J 200. I figured 9 basses was enough.

Congrats on remaining functional, David! You must have a good service plan. SmileWavy

There is hope.

Les

"9 basses was enough," are you sure you are a bass player?

My aunt has a Guild, probably 35+ years old now. Lovely guitar and plays and sounds great.

Glad you're still around.

Like others have said, it's been a quick seven years.

Any advice on how to live a longer life?

Don't give in to bass instincts. :D

^that was a rim(fire) shot joke.

betcha don't have a blues bass like this one .....
