gnarly customized epiphone eb-0

Check it out. I purchased and customized the bass over a couple of months.

The hardest part was the headstock. I cut off a few inches and drilled new holes for the tuning machines.
 
Why stop there? I think I'd cut it off so it was just paddle shaped. Drill a spot for the jack on the bottom, maybe hollow out a hole and cover it with a piece of leftover pickguard if you need the volume and tone.
 
well at least its a newer epiphone ebo
and not a epiphone from 1965

this is what happened to a lot of the guitars and basses thru the 50's, 60's, and 70's
this and destruction from hurricanes, floods, and custom refinishers
and it is one of the reasons that when you find a 62 jazz bass if it is in playable condition is fairly stock
and regardless of the condition of the original finish
the asking price starts at about $20k

Looks great man,that probably took a decent amount of work.
dont let these other peoples comments bug ya, different tastes for different people I suppose, but my main question is , how does the bass/play sound?
