Seen WAY worse headstock repairs, it could be fun project.  Might I suggest TV Yellow? I've always thought that would look good on a 'bird.

Years ago somebody on the 'pit (was it Baz??) bought an all-but-firewood EB0 from me.  It had a cheezy flame paint job...

I dug up from my archives that it was a dudepitter named johnnythumbfive, aka John DeLowery.
John, are you on here?

I'd love to see pics of what he did with that bass again, it came out really pretty as I recall ...

I remember him, he had stopped posting at the Pit before it went down. AFAIK he's never registered here.

If it gets $$$$$ then nothing is lost and someone else just wants it more and you can put it towards something less mutilated...
