Hello everybody!

I am new here, but I was wondering if you guys could help me with a price on this bass. I acquired this bass through my school. There is severe damage to the body, there is a 1x1" hole under the right footing of the bridge. I was told by a luthier in NYC that is is repairable for about $800 with a new bridge and strings. But, I cannot afford this right now and the bass is taking up space. The bass sounded great a few years back. The soundpost has come off and is rolling inside of the bass and the neck has been repaired (came off a few years back but it has been fully restored). Could somebody please give me a price on this?

Thanks
