wow! that's tempting. i don't even really like Explorers, but that would be fun.

It's gone already! I actually went back to eBay as I was contemplating getting it
I hope someone from LBO got it. Nice grab.

That was a nice project. I would have stuck my T-bird pickups in it.

Dang, 300 bucks.... Kinda glad I didn't see it!

No, it's not. A cool project I mean.

Save yourself from the destruction of your illusions, self-pity and general disenchantment and buy an Epi Exi bass instead. A much better base/bass to start with for further improvement. There is nothing the Gibson doesn't do a lot worse.

Nor does it have rotten wood on it.

With black surrounds by public forum demand:

Make sure you dust it every day Uwe, or it will grow Turkey Tails

"I see an Epi, and I want to paint it black...."

Too Metallica for me. Black is such an absorber it makes even spectacular shapes look less spectacular.

Mark knows somewhere you could get a nice case that could be hermetically sealed to avoid the spores issue...
