Don't ever really want to buy something I would not be willing to mod if required, and if I buy something it is for keeps, usually...
Only one bass escaped any alterations and I don't even have a picture... a fixed neck Jazz with rear fitted conns that was active - lovely neck but was just not me - dark wood - natural fin - not sure what she was now - literally bought whilst still actively trying to go pro ('83) when I was late for a rehearsal, saw this on the wall, and bought her on the spot, using gear that was in the studio...
Ah... also had a Strat copy, too... actually I ended up with two - one had a split body - built the best of the two into one - sold both on...
Things that did not make it are my Grenn EB2 copy, which was destroyed during rebuilds post the PC purchase, and a Shergold that just was not worth the effort - still have the pup surround...
The Mandolin is almost exactly as purchased (by my wife and daughter)
Another rebuild project is my '74 SG Special... 6 string, that is...
