That's a great price If it's not a Conversion-

If anyone is really serious about this bass I would check with Kevin at Goodguys as he knows Mr Cooper and his basses and might be able to shed light on it's history.

By conversion do you mean the second pup was added aftermarket?

I'm not sure but I remember Kevin & Tony carl talking about hoe many TB II's have been converted to IV's

A refin and low price mke it suspect. If that were a clean refin it should go for more than that. That's a tbird II refin price.

I guess even if it were, still seems like a fair price, if the neck has not been repaired as he stated.

Like I said Kevin Borden knows him and should have an opinion.

    I know Joe pretty well myself and as far as I can remember that bass was a IV when he got it and the headstock wasn't broken either. It was refined in some kind of candy red and he refinned it Polaris. So, as far as I can remember (as he has had it a while) it is a legit unbroken IV. I have no idea why it was pulled.

I'm guessing he sold it privately.
