I got this bass in pretty beat condition and had it repaired. It looks great and plays very well, but I'm really not doing much on bass and I want other things. I'm going to give a quick rundown here, but if you want detail, a scan of the invoice for the repairs, etc, please ask.
The pick guard is an All Parts and the truss rod cover was fabricated by the guy that did the repair work. They fit and look good.
The finish has been removed from the fretboard. It was nasty. I was going to treat it with something, but haven't gotten around to it because I'm always playing guitar.
The tuners are not original and had been turned around. They are now oriented properly and the holes in the headstock filled.
The binding was coming off the neck. It has been repaired, and quite well...the only imperfection is that the binding on the bass side of the neck wasn't quite long enough and it was filled/completed with a smaller piece. You can only see it if you look closely.
Everything currently works and plays as it should, and if not for other pressing wants I would just keep it for the cool factor. Asking $700 plus the ride. Plain gig bag included unless you want to arrange for something more for extra protection in shipping (I can also look around my local Craigslist if you want). Open to offers as well.
