Project bass in East Haven CT

Hi all,

This is short notice, but if you're anywhere handy this (local pickup only) bass might go for little money. The repairs don't look too daunting for many that frequent 'Setup and Repair'.

Bonus: It comes with 2 old gut strings and a label with the (apparently) magical word 'Juzek' on it.

Cheers,

Paul (Eh_train)

Not a bad deal. I think the repairs wouldn't take too much effort. It's a pretty ordinary European ply bass, but I think it would cost $405, at least, just for the materials.

Nine hours drive was a little far to make it worth my bidding.
