Not one for purists, but an interesting bass with extensive period modifications. Arguably too expensive for the nature of the mods.

Credit also to John Birch for not adding a maple fretboard, a thick poly finish on the neck and four more controls.

Now that is interesting! Lol the comments on John Birch are hysterical, spot on.  ;D The price is absurd.

Very nice one but it would be overpriced even without the mods. Still, the right buyer might pay the price.

Really curious to hear what it sounds like.
