Whazzup with the guard and neck pup?

That is pretty rough for a Bass that started out real nice. All those extra screw holes...oh....

Why, why, WHY?!?!?!?

Exactly! OUCH!!

I bet there is a big hole under the plastic!
And the treble pickup mounting ring is on backwards!!!
emac.

man ... that belongs in a hall of shame

OUCH!!! My favorite bass is my 77 4001 FG! That thing hits too close to home!! Looking under that pickguard has got to be one ugly experience. I wouldn't want to know. No way would I pay that much money for that thing.

It fits perfectly on this page.

If anyone here plans on buying it, I'd recommend having Paul pick it up and refinish it before delivery.

Thanks, Richard, but there's a lot more than a refin needed here...there are nightmares to be faced down and dealt with; horrors beyond our wildest imaginings; things that go thump in the night...

What a difference that UGLY pickguard makes.

I agree. That's horrible. What on earth were they thinking?

I offered the seller $500...He emailed me back and said it was sold already.

That's one of the worst mods I've seen yet!!
