That split P-pup is really adding insult to gross injury a lynching.  :-\

That's what I was thinking. I think that poor thing would look incredible as a II.

Seen WAY worse headstock repairs, it could be fun project.  Might I suggest TV Yellow? I've always thought that would look good on a 'bird.

Years ago somebody on the 'pit (was it Baz??) bought an all-but-firewood EB0 from me.  It had a cheezy flame paint job...

I dug up from my archives that it was a dudepitter named johnnythumbfive, aka John DeLowery.
John, are you on here?

I'd love to see pics of what he did with that bass again, it came out really pretty as I recall ...

 We were talking about this on TB - I suggested the same thing, great minds think alike!


Go for it Scott!

I remember him, he had stopped posting at the Pit before it went down. AFAIK he's never registered here.

If it gets $$$$$ then nothing is lost and someone else just wants it more and you can put it towards something less mutilated...

Is it really worth all the money and labour?
Thunderbirds aren't that rare. I'd wait for a better project to come along.
