Hi everybody my name is Jeff Scott. I got into Mosrites just like a lot of you, by growing up with The Ventures, Iron Butterfly, Love, MC5, Ramones, etc. I've been playing guitar for ~35 years, mostly on a vintage Les Paul but enjoy Mosrites more. I'm a commercial artist/luthier and formerly a shipwright. I also restore classic cars.
This helps me when I create my own guitars; several of which are Mosrite inspired.
I'm the one who bought the Mosrite CelebrityIII bass, on ebay recently, that was badly smashed. I also bought the matching neck separately. (sn# z0055) I have already started to repair the damage and restore the rest of the guitar. Being 24 1/2" scale, I'm going to convert the bass to a 6 string guitar. I'll also be using Ed Elliott's pick-ups, which are super great- have used the before.
I'm looking for an original inside body decal or photocopy that I can create new art to reproduce. I'll post pictures as the guitar is being repaired/restored.
I love this site and am glad to be a new member. Looking forward to participating here, you all seem to be pretty cool people. Btw the way, thanks, Sarah.

Welcome aboard Jeff, just saw your photos of the 'recovery process' of your CEL III on the
"Mosrite & Clone, Projects, Parts & Accessories Q&A" Thread. That is one heck of a job you did!

Welcome to the forum Jeff. It's funny you mention the decal. I was just thinking recently of making reproductions for exactly this purpose. I'll contact my graphic artist and see what we can come up with.

What a cool story Jeff, yeah, cars and guitars...they seem to go well together
It must be such a grand feeling to be having when you've succeeded in restoring an object to it's former glory...and -as close as you can- to have it in it's original state. I love watching restorations being done on vintage cars too but always feel rather disappointed really when one undergoes a 'pimp' job or 'muscle car' treatment. But that's just me; I guess it's because I grew up with what are now known to be vintage cars. Welcome to the forum
