 Nice how he put a pic of Curt (DC10bass) in the description  ;)

It's kinda cool, I likes it!

Are you going to bid Mark ? I might take a stab at it.

You'll have to revise your flock photo if you get it Scott.  Looks like a nice project.

That looks like a Greco. The pickups and bird on the guard are correct for one. The finish on the body looks thinner than my 70's II, but the wood under it looks exact, including color. I won't bid Scott, but if I were I'd have no problem paying modded Greco prices for it. The only issue could be someone who bids as if its got Gibson pickups in it. The description makes it clear it doesn't, but you know eBay users... That Badass makes it the perfect Scottybird!

If I wasn't going to try for another BachBird I'd be sorely tempted, but I'm going to live vicariously through whomever of you decides to get this.  :mrgreen:

 It does look like a Greco except for the PG, the 'Bird is in a way different position than mine.....
and while it may just be in better shape than mine the pups have much more shine like they're a chrome finish instead of nickel.

I have been on a binge of late, if someone really wants this I will hold back. I do not want to drive the price up on someone here. If no one wants it I may bid.

I would bet the original concept of the neck - a late 60s or early 70s Jazz with the board replaced - is what is up here.  The finish and decal on the face of the headstock look legit, but the board is wrong.  So someone put some extra effort into this one.  Looks pretty cool.

Why would this be desirable? It's a beat up parts bass of unknown origin, not a Gibson body, doesn't look like real mahogany, the story he was told about the neck tells me it's not a real Fender. Where's the beef?

No beef, looks like fun and those Greco puts are supposed to be killer ! Could be fun to have around the house.

It's not that I think there's anything wrong with it. It's just that with other Fenderbirds around, I don't see anything exciting about buying a pig in a poke. It's just an old frankenbass.

If it went cheap enough I'd risk it, but eBay can do strange things to bidders. I wouldn't take a chance once it got over a few hundred.

 Yup, and the pups alone are worth 350-400. The rest of it..............
