    Old Gibson Bass

    Looks pretty cool. Definitely has that "hipster nonconformist im 3 steps ahead of everyone else" thing going on. It genuinely has a chance at being a great modding platform, provided that the truss rod still turns if anything. Could be a great conversation piece if it doesn't work out.

    I'm starting to hate my bass

    Maybe when I grow older and (hopefully) wiser, I'd be able to feel the same. As it is now it's just me with this bass I have a love/hate relationship with lol.
