The "sad sight" is "fixed" and on the Bay again

Post by RickyBubba »

Looks like the "sad sight" bass from this thread has re-appeard:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=407840&hilit=sad+sight

Here is the current auction:

The repair isn't awful, BUT it is interesting how the original jack plate and case have disappeared along the way....

Not for me, unless I knew much more about the repair and how good it was done.

His only real hope is to start it at $300 or less, more like a dollar. Way too many issues to buy at the start price, especially without the jackplate or a case.

Not 100% sure it is the same bass, but sure looks like it could be. The busted up one sold for $800.....so he ain't gonna make a dime if it really is the same one at that price.

Maybe I'm wrong about it's history?

Well after all it is a black (Jetglo) with white/chrome trim (Tuxedo version).
Can we have everything louder than everything else?
