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.

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.

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... ;D
