Dave W:
Non-original pickups and controls, Badass bridge -- and a $700 BIN? When will sellers ever learn that modding lowers the value? And is that even the original finish?

Looks like a nice bass, though.

Pilgrim:
Yes, looks nice, but a number of mods AND a "dull coating" on the body????  Yeeeeeeegs.

An improved bass Dave ;)

Dave W:
Well, maybe. I may not like the improvements but I realize whichever owner installed them thought he was improving it. Even so, the market has shown for years that mods reduce the value the overwhelming majority of the time. The seller hopes for one sucker who doesn't understand this and will overpay. And in this case, he found the sucker.
