That's just what I wanted as a project bass!!!

See what happens! I take break to watch Sopranos.

I'm going to e-mail the buyer and ask if he's looking to flip it.

That was a nice bass, I think it was a refinish though but what a price.

I was the one who purchased the bass. Will post some pictures when it arrives. Not sure if I will refinish it (have to look closer at the back), but hope to put the original type tuners back on it sometime. How close are the repros or should I be looking for originals ? Don't know about the case either, may just get a vintage case if they fit.

can you believe? The buyer actually wants it for himself. How selfish

I almost pulled the trigger on that one myself but I'm not up for anymore projects at the moment. Congratulations on that one.

OK Brian, as long as it went to a forum member then I can rest easy.

My bass has arrived and I have some additional pictures.
Looks like the control cavity has some extra routing

The truss rods have been improperly adjusted at some time but the neck is ok

Not sure if the truss rod cover is original

The tuners on it must be the third set as there are two extra sets of holes, one of which has been filled

Can't tell if it has been refinished or not but there is buckle rash and a spot on the back which has been touched up as stated in the auction. The color scheme must be original as I can see no evidence of any other color.

The string mute is missing, but some forum member(s) may think of that as a plus.
However I have played the bass and like playing it and am happy with the purchase. I will over time correct some or all of the above.

These pictures show the extra routing in the control cavity more clearly
