Damn...It's a good price.. I guess. If I had the spare change...but I just sold 2 basses to pay bills....and then got more medical bills in the mail today and my car broke down today..on the way to a stress test today for my heart. Timing is always bad...oh well.....I hope someone who appreciates it gets it.

 A good price ? For a busted, refined '79??????? Without the original pups! (not that I like them) Waaaaaaaaaaay overpriced imho.

I agree with Dave, it has lots of flaws and isn't as presented.  I'd pay close to 800 to get a crack at redoing it, but I'm kinda busy right now.

Busy with the BillyBo? Or unimportant stuff like work?

Good one Dave!  Actually, I've been so busy with Christmas stuff, my band and hanging out with the wife, I haven't been able to hit the shop much.  I did redo the neck profile on the BB the other day, so it's ready for painting.  My son and I are going to build a room in my barn for working/painting over Christmas.  I should be able to hit the ground running in January.

Work is easy right now, just winding down with a reduced schedule as part of the college retirement incentive.  Life is good!
