Hard to tell much aside from the body and what appears to be a neck and fretboard.  Pickups aren't described. If the pickups are original the parts are definitely worth more than $200.

I'd love to resurrect that Les Paul Bass! Looks doable.

If the pickups are included it would be worth it just for that...………...

Thanks, I asked the guy about shipping. He's looking into it. He's in Illinois, but over 4 hours away from me.

So in response to my question about shipping, the guy came back with "how about we meet half way?". I told him that's still 4 hours round trip and that I was going to pass. Anyone else wants it, go for it!

Wonder if he'll ship to The Netherlands. Or should I meet him halfway too? ;-)

NOW he's come back with "Don't count yourself out yet. I'll look into shipping costs"...

Strange. I've asked him too, but no answer. He just names the price of $200, but just ignores the question about shipping costs. What is with this guy?

Sounds to me like he really doesn't want to ship. Most sellers on FB Marketplace are looking to sell locally.
