I won't make sunburst/fireglo jokes but if Uwe has a fireplace he need this one to hang above!

It's kind of cool. Wonder if the charred wood affects sound much? (Looking around uneasily) There is no established physical rule that the degree of charring does not affect sound, is there?

Is the serial number still visible? After all, it could be hot!

I'd be more concerned about the neck dive.    :mrgreen:

yeah, don't try this with black plastic covers.

If this bass was still playable I would play it!!

OK, I know I have asked y'all to keep an eye out for me for a cheap/trashed EB2 body and neck, but I guess I should clarify that when I said 'trashed,' I had somewhat less of a write-off in mind.  Thanks tho.  :P

If the pickup is working and the hardware isn't heat-damaged, he'd be better off parting it out. Since he's not, I'm guessing that most or all of it is unusable, although maybe salvagable.

I think it would look great over the fireplace.

Because you think the parts are toast?

Either that or he doesn't realize the value if they're in good working order.
