Time for the sander and the spare-parts bin, I think.

what was in HIS peace pipe?

[barginkov]

i juat saw that, whats up with the way the neck looks is it a real ric??

[antipodean]

Hey, that's a one-of-a-kind finish! Shouldn't someone bid mega bucks for it?

The extra routing, mismatched hardware, missing tuner posts, missing TRC and missing neck pickup make it all so desirable!

It would be interesting to know the history of the bass, though. Judging by the fret wear, it's seen a ton of playing at some point over the past 30 years.

[rickaddict]

That thing's a mess.

But I do dig Native American art and petroglyphs. If the bass were more complete and hadn't been painted over, stripped, butchered and mutilated it might look kinda cool.

I think I might try something similar with my V63JG.

I think Jon Camp is interested in this one. Or maybe Macca. But not me, I never refinish my basses.

Uh-huh.

So I guess I shouldn't have one of mine covered in fake vomit?

You only get the best tone with the real stuff though. and it has to be period correct to Lennon's bulimic period.

So the question would be who's vomit it will be....

Hey, if it's a player, maybe someone gets a decent deal -with the value added of those odd engravings...

Those pics get saved for posterity, or maybe Jeff Rath's ugly bass web page.
