Misfits 4001
. Easy project.
This bass was abused and smashed, but the neck/body area didn't break despite that huge swimming pool routing. That neck heel should be donated to scientific research.

I have one of Jerry's oversized armbands from a 1999 concert. It was a great show.

Either a truly serious (or seriously deranged

Where is the Ric-Gestapo when you need it?
What that "bass" needs is a nice burial cermony so it can find peace and solace with its ancestors.

One mans trash is another's $5,238.
Just think what it would have been worth if he did it to one with checkerboard binding.

A fool and his money are soon parted, but chances are that the buyer is hoping for a greater fool somewhere down the line.
