Good parts/project bass, but, use as is? Lordy!

Yikes!

Nice neck screws.

I hate that gloss clear finish. Mind you the wood looks a bit flamey...

that headstock looks like it could go any second

What are those two puny neck screws supposed to do? Add stability?

Headstock is in horrible shape.

Can't fault the honesty of the seller... any more photos and it would be a coffee table book...

Look at the flamed mahogany body though. Nice piece of wood.

Went for $338

I would have thought for project level that it would go around that or a bit less. But at least it has the mute, so parts alone it was an ok deal.

Dave W · October 21, 2009, 08:54:49 AM

Yeah, an okay deal for a project, maybe the parts will be transplanted and put to good use. I just hope nobody bought it assuming it's really usable as is.

But it was.

OK, maybe they had a special run of custom ordered "smashed headstock and repaired neck joint with two screws" models.

Good lord. Maybe it's contagious.
