I'm no expert, but the only pieces worth salvaging here are the body wings. Right?

It looks like it to me.

No wait you guys, this bass is salvagable!
I am not kidding you, all you need to use is construction tix and clamp it in really tightly. At the Knooren handcrafted workshop we use Construction tix to glue body pieces together, it is a much stronger glue than Titebond. Send me over those pieces and I'll restore that bass for you.
(Of course this is a guy with nine years of professional luthiery experience talking.)

Well, the lower wing looks a little too split for me

My thoughts exactly Jeff. It reminds me of that interview with Pete Townshend and in the background was a framed, smashed up Rickenbacker.

Incidentally, the Ric Hall of Shame is from the Rickenbacker Page.

Here's about the only real use you could make of this horribly abused instrument.
Take the maple and cut and shape it to make lots of Maple blocks to use in Ted's tailpiece mod instead of the washers.
