Worn well by Popeye!
It looks like a crayon that was left in a car during a hot summer day!
I saw this and want to save it and give it a good home but I can't get past the opening bid. :(
Yeah, I really like these early ones best, great project. But too expensive for me too.
Just got me a ´67 project so I should stay away from ´bay.
That's got way too much wrong with it to even fool with. Parts value only.
Somebody needs a beating!
Poor bass.
The strap looks original..............
looks like it was pulled from a fire just a little too late.
And they call me a butcher :rolleyes: Looks like it will be coming to my land of misfit toys ;D made a deal outside of ebay.
Give it some love Scott!

I'm kinda bummed the seller says he didn't receive payment. I check paypal and there it is siting unclaimed. It went to the address he gave me no typos. I canceled the transaction and asked him to send me a invoice. I have not heard back. I am thinking he got a better offer. Oh well.

That's the Uwe Hornung signature model. All black hardware ;)
IIRC Jerry Casale's bass in when Devo hit it big was his spudbass, the Ripper with the horns sawn off. He did have a red plywood bass that was sort of phallic, it was the shape of an upside down T. It had a neck from an EB-3 he had played early on.

You keep the Goth Extreme out of this!!! That wasn't a bad bass by any means, just too long designed for any primates other than Gibbons and Orang-Utans.
Here is another shot at saving a bass just for the humanity of it...............

I might have risked spousal ire for that one for the current price (fix n flip locally) but the seller won't ship. Looks weird but good without the binding on the body.

I put the first bid on that, but I'm not pursuing it any further. I'd like the electronics from it for a build but have no use for the rest of it. I picked up a Triumph a month or so ago and it's all that I've been playing on gigs.

I have a 71 Body that is all intact that I'll probably get on ebay this weekend. If anyone's interested I'll put up pics in the classifieds.
