Passive El-Toro on the bay

Broken truss rod though. I bet this goes for quite a bit even with the broken truss rod. I might have to snag it myself if the bidding doesn't get too crazy. Passive El Toro

Yep, even with a pooched truss rod, that should easily hit over 6 hun.
Hmmmm, I have a Moses neck due to arrive next week.....

FWIW, if anyone is considering the seller's advice about removing the fingerboard, DON'T. Take off the fingerboard (with a 40- grit belt, BTW), and you'll find nothing but maple. I have had a truss rod swap done on a bi-cut neck, and the tech who did it is still mad at me ( the legendary Paul Iverson). Most guys won't touch the job, and it's waaaaaaay beyond the scope of the do-it-yourselfer. If your tech says he's up to it, great, but it is one bee-yotch of a job.

Hmm, that sounds expensive. As much as it would be sacrilege to do so, maybe putting a different neck on it would be cheaper? I was just reading some other threads that make me think it would have to be custom though because all the old G&L necks aren't necessarily interchangeable. See this thread for more about G&L neck swapping: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/archiv.../t-364848.html Sounds like it could be expensive to work out either way!
