It's just an old frankenbass.

Now what have I done...? :P  ;)

Yup, and the pups alone are worth 350-400. The rest of it..............

Really? Are you sure you know which pickups they are?

If it went cheap enough I'd risk it, but eBay can do strange things to bidders. I wouldn't take a chance once it got over a few hundred.
George if you are going to bid I have no desire to bid against you or anyone else in the forum, if I can get it cheap great if not i do not need it.

I'll take those shitty Orvilles or Greco pickups if you don't want them. Mike Lull may be better for you.

There aren't many authentic looking 60's bird repro pickups out there. Greco, Chandler, Orvilles, and now Lull (that I know of). Plus, the bird on Greco guards looks different enough that I'm sure that's a Greco (the head shape is all sharp angles). Of course, being that old you never know if someone's put something else under those covers. Crapshoot either way, but might be worth the risk if it goes cheap enough.



George if you are going to bid I have no desire to bid against you or anyone else in the forum, if I can get it cheap great if not i do not need it.

I should have specified, I'm not in the market so if you can get a good deal, go for it!
