NICE! I thought about jumping at this one as a restoration but was scared off by the headstock crack. It looked knarly Let us know how bad it is when you get it in your hands, OK?

Going dark, I see!
That headstock crack is no problem at all, at least for those of us who know better.

Any unique plans or just a "player" resurrection?

Actually, it's a 4001V63, but close enough! Chris, what will you do for the TRC?

....got the bass today...with no surprises.
I went over that neck repair with a fine-tooth comb and it looks like a good, professional repair. I tried to snap it using my kung-fu grip to no avail...
.... so I'm not worried about that. I removed the broken truss rods quite easily but noticed that the plate is friggin
imbedded into the wood pretty deeply. There is a noticeable bow at the first couple frets , as well .... hopefully the new trussrods will correct this *fingers crossed*
I have all the parts I need on the way, except for the trc ... still pondering on this....
