When this 1968 4005 was sent to me from a pawn shop in Fresno, the neck was broken at the heel where it meets the body. Someone drilled 4 holes and put dry wall screws through the back of the neck heel to hold it together, it didn't work very well, the action was 2 inches at the 20th fret. The peghead was also cracked and once again they used a short dry wall screw to hold it together. But when they mixed a quart of poly resin and poured it in the body, I'm not sure what that was about unless they were trying to make a solid body out of it. Someone also filed the neck binding off making the neck slim kinda like a Jazz Bass.
So this Bass had a lot of work done to bring it back to life. The back came off, the neck taken out, the braces were replaced, neck and peghead repaired,resin removed, new B/W checkered binding, replaced the back, reset and refretted the neck, new neck binding and patched about 20 holes that were drilled in the top in various spots. I finished it with NCL in a BlueBoy color. All the parts and hardware are original except the case. She's a beauty now.
