Except the routed edges where the binding was.

Turn it into a faux S bass!

The problem with that is there's already too round of a radius on there.

looks like its sprang from the Jumanji board game.

This can be a problem--taking the binding off and removing the rabbet where it rested, requires a radius that can be too large, or "soft".

You never know what a guy is thinking. But, it went for 1200 bucks. It's not as bad as the one with chumks cut out of it. But still a real monster. Go figure

Why not complete the look with a brass pickup surround and tuners? Think of how much sustain that would have added!
I hope whoever got this bass is happy with it.

I hope they have a chiropractor.

Wow, 39 bidders.

It's back! Maybe the buyer backed out. Or maybe it's a double whammy! There is still 9 days left as of this morning.

It's back, but I think it's a different seller, at least the ebay user is different. The first time it was being sold from California, now it says Missoula, Montana. Interestingly, the text and everything is the same except now it's not ended with "Cheers Billy". Oh, and it's got free shipping now instead of $50.

Might be a case of buyers remorse?

Oof. Somebody must not have been comfortable restoring it to stock after all and regretted all that heavy metal... I mean brass.

Or a copy-cat scam....

Just dip the whole body in brass-even more sustain!

Not a '72.
