Actually a V63, but it does need a good home!

Argh! It's my OTHER dream bass . . . both of them show up withing days of each other for not much money . . . oh well, such is the life of a college student . . .

That being said, someone please get this before the Emperor does.

I think the starting bid is a bit high given this bass' issues.

I'm trying to find a really nice way to say I don't like the guy who is selling it. I'm not succeeding.

I wonder if that bass has a ski jump neck that won't flatten out ...

I'd stay away from this one. The body wings separation near the heel indicates a major trauma to the bass, it's not a trivial fix, not easy to hide especially since it's Mapleglo, and can open again. And then there's the nasty neck bow that won't flatten out, and no horseshoes...

If you picked it up if you could do the work it needs it might not be that bad, if you cant and you need a luthier to do the work, who has the time??

Wait till he parts it out.
