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.

This one came up before in a craigslist ad out of Phoenix

The SN was given was different. I wonder which one is correct?

John, I agree. Why go to all this trouble to leave the holes? Part of the charm? :roll: 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

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. :)
