Not sure if this belongs here or Accessories,so Mods,please delete if necessary..

What we have is..
an '83 Warmoth Mpl J body,refin'd by me.Tight grain,dense and resonant,but a little stout. 12lb bass on the digital.
Smith IV bridge,excellent cond,top-load,HEAVY!
Pots/Knobs/Plate--old,came with the bass,work fine
3 ply Red Tort guard,siliconed in place because I didn't want to add any holes in case I wanted to go back to nat fin. Can be removed/cleaned with little effort..
'85 AllParts Mpl/Rw neck. 1 5/8"nut,slim P profile.Some string wear,plays just fine,but frets could use a dressing
Tuners/String Tree came from a mid 70's Fender Jazz. No pitting,mild tarnish,work fine..

Currently has no strings or pups..but I can throw in a set of MIM pups if this goes before they do..(I'm awaiting a new set of Kent Armstrong's and may end up keeping this)

$450 shipped
I'm only letting go of this one because my main head blew over the weekend,and would prefer to trade for/toward a head,ideally 400w or better,but who knows..
Sorry about the crappy pics,trying to figure out a new camera..

and still fighting the camera..the spots on the back are weird reflections.

The whole body is smooth to the touch,the relicing is paint only,and those were thin coats to begin with.Clear-coated with a few thin coats of semi-gloss laq. --No actual buckle-rash or dings,etc--
