strange looking TRC.

That's a great look. Can't say I like the mudbucker in the neck.

AutumnGlo - too bad the funky neck pup is in it....

Looks like the TRC is a white one painted black.

The TRC of that bass on eBay looks veeeeeery familiar ... (more to follow later today).

The finish appears to be walnut. The matte of Autumnglo does take on a shine if rubbed enough but that looks too even. The TRC used to be white. The letters were scraped clean and the background painted black.

I love that finish. Too bad someone had to add the humbucker.

I really like the color!
I'd imagine he routed the heck out of that body?
Anyone else notice what SEEMS to be 3 switches by the volume knobs? I can't make them out for sure....and look who the leading bidder is!

Yea, Tony I saw that too. Looks like a knob is missing, and three toggle switches where added.
Plus your right about the routing under the neck pickup. If it wasn't for that I would consider bidding.
How can someone BUTCHER such a fine guitar?
The Emperor will fix it up.

LOL...right after I unpacked the new Monty Brown 4003FL, my wife said, "Congratulations, it's beautiful, and it's making me want to have a root beer float!"

Hey Bob,
I'm still tempted, if for nothing else than to bounce the Emperor!
You know, after seeing what Paul & Dale can do, I no longer look at basses like this as a total loss.
Not a good thing, that can really land me in the poor house! I say to myself "hmmm, I've seen Paul/Dale fix a lot worse!
