1/2 Roth - Project Bass

BIIIIIIIIIG Question here!

I found a project bass for sale for pretty cheap but have no idea how much more I will have to drop to make it a playable bass!

This what I'd be buying...

Roth carved top upright bass with new neck roughed in. Bass has a sound post, end pin, tuners, roughed out rosewood fingerboard and tail piece. I can throw in a set of used strings and an old canvas bag. You will need to shape the neck and fingerboard. Scale for the bass is about 38 or 39"'s

I'd be bringing this into a repair shop in MN and pay them to make it a playable bass!

What do you think it's cost me ...roughly

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Being a 1/2 size bass....a whole lot more than it will be worth when you're done.
