I dug through my closet and mocked up some parts I found in there. What do you think? |

| | | | The bass itself looks like it may be worth completing. But I dont think some of the parts in the pic will be used on the bass. Perhaps some other use can be found for those peices.

Edit: I might cut the point off the headstock at the bend so that the two ends of the headstock are parallel.

Of course a Bronco body is next to worthless. |

Of course a Bronco body is next to worthless. | Bah! It's a custom mobile parts box. Really though, would you use the body in a different situation? If not, go for it. Get funky with the headstock too. I like the 3+1 idea. |

no better yet, follow the leader and take their advise...put a fenderhead on it so it looks like every other god**** modified bronco out there.
