Ah, reminds me of the time my friend went to the store and forgot to lock his car doors with his banjo in the back seat.  Inside, he suddenly realized his error and ran out to the parking lot. He got to his car, opened the back door and sure enough he found.........................................................................

Hmmm..Sweeney Todd pulled the listing.  Just when I was thinking that neck might make the perfect donor for an Explorer project.  I can only assume that means Mrs. Lovett  convinced him to unload her cheap to fund another murder. :o

Looks like an early PRS creation.

it does look prsish. i don't wonder why people carve up vintage instruments but i do wonder how an accurate value can be determined. imo 4,500 dollars is nuts. 450 would be more like it. of course it could have been' customized' when it was only 2 or 3 years old so no one was wrecking a  vintage bass at the time. :-\

I don't think that last one was a vintage instrument.  The carcass didn't look right and the pickup looks like a model one

That is a Model One pickup. The carcass has been carved like a PRS but there are enough similarities to an original 59/60 EB-0 that I think it is. Odd that the seller mentions other less important mods while ignoring the Model One and the carving.

Yeah, the price is nuts. No one who knows anything about the originals would pay anywhere remotely near that. I agree with nofi, $450 is more like it. This one has no vintage vibe.

Seller says the pickup is original but it is obviously a Model One.
