 The asking price is just crazy. I'd have to be in love and drunk off my ass  to pay $1,500 for it

 I offered $1,100 way low next to his BIN  but what the heck. I'm sure any offer he accepts is still to much for that thing. I bet it goes a couple rounds on ebay.

He may eventually decide to be reasonable. At least he's straightforward about what it is and what he knows about it. But you gotta laugh at the description of the mods as "custom parts." I never knew routing for a J pickup constituted a custom part.

 Also without a black light test I presume it to be broken.

This would be a good candidate for Inverness Green once sorted out!

Scott, does the black light test show gaps or grain breaks or old glue?

 I said before I'll stand down if someone wants else wants it but I can't let it go begging. I'd be the best thing to happen to this bass in 20 years.  ;D

What's with the black pickguard in the parts picture?  Is that a Gibson piece?

That could be an awesome bass.  I think the red one from GC for something like $2200 is a better deal though.  Unless you could get this one for like $1200 or less.  I don't know if it would be worth much more.
