Definitely not a '68 either, and now it's hardly even a Rick. Cheese Louise!

Too bad. I suppose it's too far gone for a restoration, isn't it? I mean some one probably hogged out a lot of wood for those furrin pickups, right?

More like '78 perhaps!

Pitiful.

[Mr. Meaty]

Bit it sounds huge though

[rickaddict]

I wonder how much money and time was spent to cut the value of that bass in half?

[Mr. Meaty]

It was probably done way before ricks were fetching the kinda quid there getting now . It was'nt that big of a deal at the time .I would like to see under that guard though . My guess is , It isnt as hacked as we think . Massaged a little most deffinently . But not ruined by any stretch.

The seller has now clarified that the bass' serial number is coded TG... July of 80.

If I were looking to potentially purchase this bass, I'd be wondering what the huge patch of black tape is hiding on the back...?
