This just in...from Keith Henderson:

"Last weekend, I had the opportunity to meet Lou DiLeone at his workshop in a nearby town. While he is retired, he is still working on a few select basses to keep active.

He has recently completed a restoration of a Prescott bass. Originally a 3-string bass, he converted it to a 4-string. The flat-back body and headstock/scrollwork are original, while he has replaced the neck. He still has the original neck and tailpiece in his possession.

The interesting thing to see with the bass is the way he covered the original 3 peg holes with wood inserts that are flush with the headstock instead of using metal plates.

The bass sounds as good as it looks. He is selling the bass through his friend David Mix out of Branford, CT.

Here is a link for pictures I took of Lou and the Prescott bass:

He has several other bass restorations at his workshop. He has completed an Austrian Lemböck along with a Juzek. On two work tables, he had two Italian basses that are in different stages of repair. I think he mentioned that one of them was a Palotta (sp?). I took pictures of the Lemböck that I will post when I get a chance."
