I was thinking that any vintage or custom contributions we get, we could auction off here on the site. If they allow for bidding in the for sale forums, and put the money towards our expenses. But if you'd like to contribute its up to you how you want the bass used. We could set it up and hold onto it for a special kid with some special potential. Either way, that piece would be heading to trace, once the time comes. If its been sitting in storage, I would definitely say hold onto it until we get our non profit status for tax deductions. No reason not to.

"Or Best Offer" LOL...
I think the revebue from that would go a looooong way towards the costs of extreaneous parts (paint, stains, laquers) and shipping or advertisement costs... something to look at and a realistic cost of logistics.
I would bid on it myself....

Much easier than delaminating the fretboard and no guarantee I can save the fretboard. 
We may want to have a fretless available as there may be someone out there that loves that fretless jazz sound. Ya?
But, It's your call. I can do either job. | Brother, I'm cool with it either way. I just think it would be cool that this could end up helping out some young bassist that doesn't have anything to play.

Sorry I dropped off the face of the planet. I had a lot of other affairs to get in order. But, with my return comes good news and renewed intent!
My current roomie, a local business owner and musician is a huge fan of this idea and is going to have his lawyer help me with making this legal! Everyone who is still interested, let's create a new little forum and/or PM to catch me up on what I've missed, please! Then we can get back to the who's and what's and make some good things happen for some bad luck kid somewhere!

Couldn't think of a better name at 2 in the morning while completely exhausted. I'll pretty it up tomorrow...  Hey ya'll... I'm editing this several months later and a lot worse for wear. My injury this October cost me my job and I had to move back in with my family. I'm going to have to put this on indefinite hold until I'm in better shape, physically and financially.
