The part that confuses me is if he's asking for $200 for this bass or to do it to yours.

The Body style...no f'ing clue what he's going for. The headstock...I would think he's going for the "Buzzard" style that Entwistle went with shortly before he died, but even THEN he's failing miserably. That's all I got. I'm sure it still plays and sounds like a Jazz, so it's got that going for it. But i'd rather, in this case, stick with something that looks like a Jazz.

I mean, call me old fashioned, but I love the way a standard Fender Jazz Bass looks. Why jigsaw the hell out of it?

At least he didn't do it to a real Fender.

If he likes it, props to him, but I agree it's a bit silly to expect people will pay for him to cut up their basses.
