Sounds promising.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Scott, I'm confident that you can bring it back.

On the other hand you have a test bed for the way it is. How many of the same beast can one own, without getting repetitive (I know George, Mark, Tony & others do)?

If it sound good the way they have it set up, why not just build another custom bird instead of a restoration?

 if this was a P bass or even a modded EB3 I'd leave it but they made so few of these I think the right thing to do is restore it. Also NRs have been my bass of choice since '78, I had three very nice ones but I had to sell off two when I was between jobs a few years back, I'm just trying to get back where I was ! Plus I love a challenge.
