That could be the start of a nice fenderbird project!
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

Good old Darrel.  Too bad he bought the farm in Columbus.  I was there when it happened.  RIP.

Too bad they don't do a bass body like that.

I think the bass body and guitar body are the same. If they'd skip the routings for the pickups and drill holes for the bridge you'd be all set.

The NR bass and guitar bodies were exactly the same.  Just order one without the guitar routs and you're good to go!
