Price seems stupidly high to me given it's been routed so much and doesn't come with original pickups or bridge.
But I bet it plays nice and probably has at least one good sound :)

What the hell do all the switches do though?
And where did all the logos go?
Basses: Gibson lpb-1, Gibson dc jr tribute, Greco thunderbird, Danelectro dc, Ibanez blazer.  Amps: genz benz shuttle 6.0, EA CXL110, EA CXL112, Spark 40.  Guitars: Danelectro 59XT, rebuilt cheap LP copy

I saw that one and wanted to pull my hair out. And I've seen (and owned) my fair share of molested guitars and basses.

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it, and even for that I'd have to see it in person.

I think that all those empty jack daniels bottles in the pics answers some of your questions :)

They're dreaming at that price. "true vintage vibe and tone" my ass. Amateur refin.

It's worth whatever used tuners, bridge, and Model One would bring. Maybe a few dollars more if the P and J pickups can be identified and have some value.
