Recently I have been looking to pick up a medium priced 5 string. I like to frequent the local pawn shops in my area and today i found an ESP B-255 and upon closer inspection i noticed that some genius yanked all the frets wires off the neck as a result it has been marked at $150.00 my question is this...is it worth it too buy the bass and have the fret wires put back in? Where would i go about even finding fret wires? or would it be easier just to purchase a new neck? or move on and find another axe?

The bass isteslf is in great shape and has a Neck-Thru-Body / 34” Flamed Maple Top 5-Pc. Maple-Walnut Neck, Vol / Bal w/ ESP ABQ3 3-Band Active EQ, and abalone dots....

How much are you looking to spend? I just happen to have a B-255 for sale here in the forums.
