Title: 76 T-Bird on Ebay: It's been "reworked" a little bit

A 24 fret TBird? He must have overlooked that in his description. Someone pointed it out to him at the bottom of the listing. Doesn't look bad overall, curious to see how high it goes tho.

Now there's a bass that needs to spend some quality time with GoT's bandsaw!

It's so apparently pointless that I wonder about why it's there. Covering up something? Was there a trussrod that needed to be replaced, or some other damage?

It is back with a lower starting price and a more detailed explanation of the condition/mods.

It's nice to know that he doesn't think that the rest of the bass was "regretted". ;D

Maybe this is some kind of "John Entwistle Joke" bass, putting even more frets out of reach than nature intended.

The "Irony Bird"

No need to fret over this having gone wheresoever she went as I can see a movie in this...

"A Fret Too Far..."

Still fretting over who to cast though...

The only regret might be all those late-night, two-octave reacharounds in seedy bars.  :-X
