I take it that the tuners were swapped out after the refin. Apart from that and the lost binding, I kinda like it

I wouldn't buy it but I kinda like it too. Too bad the tuners were swapped and left the holes.

Re: And now for something completely different . . .
This one came up before in a craigslist ad out of Phoenix
The SN was given was different. I wonder which one is correct?

In some twisted way, I like it.
Re: And now for something completely different . . .
John, I agree. Why go to all this trouble to leave the holes? Part of the charm?
Do I like it? YES and no.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I like it, except for the screw holes.
All I wanna do is rock!
Re: And now for something completely different . . .
If the remaining holes fit RIC keys,you could easily replace the Grovers. I really love the color scheme,and am intrigued by the combination of pickups,altho I would probably prefer a toaster in the neck position. Overall,it seems like a really nice bass for the price. If it were a dot neck,without binding,i might be looking around to find a way to get it...

So 80's. Personally I'm not big on the color combo.

Well at least I'm not the only one who doesn't like it.
