That was a really nice 4001 at one time!

[woodyng]

gasp!....i would probably consider it beyond redemption,but then again,i am not mechanically gifted.......would be nice to see it restored if at all possible....

[leftybass]

Damn...that's pretty much firewood, isnt it..?

[dog]

Yeah. But a load of firewood in my neck of the woods is only 60 bucks.

I noticed this and just decided to move on. Maybe I will watch it just to see if somebody will pay 550.00 for it.

Squire's was reportedly broken in an similar way. Yeah, it could be fixed. It is a tough job though. That is way too much for an opening bid IMHO.

[ajish4]

Last year this would have had bids already.

Who knows what will happen with the current financial fiasco.

Looks like it was pulled from a ship wreck.

Should be fun to watch.

That couch looks like a naked fat guy from behind.



Just sayin'.

IF it was a Mohair, it would be PERFECT!

Was it routed for a mudbucker? I can't tell but that cavity looks really big.

[jaymi]

All I can say is "WOW!!!"
the wood looks really bad also....This would be a job for Dr Ted or Paul....I would not approach this....Look at the end of the neck where the trussrods are just sitting there.....

Maybe it's a picture OF a big fat guy's butt with the bass stuck to him after he sat on it- and that's what broke it up like that.

[s4001]

I kinda like it.

[ben_brown]

Not much left to it. Looks like some severe water damage to make those glue joints come apart like that. Makes you think if the wood is worthy of a glue-up again.
The only thing it's good for is to put in a display case and let it sit.

[atomic_punk]

It's gnarly. Way too thrashed for me to even think about what it might be like fixed up.
