Wow.
Could be a cool restoration project if the price stays low. I wonder what's under the PG. Probably a mess of routes under there.

When i saw this, i thought the material for the pickguard was taken off the kitchen table... or the floor. Sorry, couldn't resist

A hell of a steal at that price!
Is that another doubleneck project coming over the horizon?

What on earth is that pickguard supposed to be shaped like? It looks like someone just cut some random round shape and went, "Looks great! I'll put it on a bass!"

Oof. What used to be a 76 3001. How sad.

Wow. Here we go again. P/J-style pickups on a Rickenbacker bass. What for? Polepieces that do not line up with the strings. Why? At least they could have installed the bridge pickup in a slanted position. And a pickguard in the very worst of taste to boot. Another candidate for the Hall of Shame...

My first thoughts also!

Looks like late 50s or early 60s 1' square floor tile material...

I would say that it is floor tile. Wonder if it's the self-adhesive kind, if so, no screws required.
