doesn't look bad at all except the shark thingy.......might be a good project..Got some nice mojo to it otherwise.

Think like a programmer: "It's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE"

Destroyed? Even this wasn’t destroyed.

I kind of like Bridge Shark.

"Thump rest"? Good pun.

This is a crime. Full disclosure... I love JC basses.

Good gawd!!! Who would do such a thing??? Green strings on a natural bass?? Oh the humanity!!

I'm lookin at it and I think: looks like Florida. Lime green and nice but funny shark included. And a guy who needs a thumb-rest positioned for thumpier tones...Then I notice your name. Yes, Florida bass. That hardware is resistant to rust, so it's fine.

all you need is a new set of strings and a bunch of stickers

It's called character.
Rock just like it is!

oh yes

I like my gold JC and all, but this kinda makes me wish they also did a natural finish. Not bad!

 

[boombloom]

Thanks, FloridaTim for the clickbait. I'd absolutely play that if it felt great and sounded great. Is it still available? Where? How much are they asking for it?

 

[Bassa Nova]

Baby shark do do!

Mods are fine to me. To each their own.

I think it looks pretty cool - except for the green strings and the shark is a little weird.
I wonder what that little mini switch does?

Hardly destroyed.

I mean it’s an Epiphone. People pay big money for 70’s Fender boat anchors in similar condition. Isn’t that termed ‘mojo?’

Judging by the JC marker above the bass, I'm guessing some 3am "projects" were in full swing.

Far from destroyed!

If the price was right, I'd snag it and rattle can it!

Good Luck!

 

[Danny O Danny]

I don't think it's that bad. Actually I kind of like it (except the strings). But I wouldn't pay the $525.00 that the seller is asking. Maybe $250.00.

Looks better than some of the hack jobs posted here on TB.

Next time you hear a discussion about how the builders generally use less-figured wood on basses and guitars that will have a solid-color paint job . . . . . believe it.

'Yep, Lennon was right, stripped the finish of that Epiphone and it sounds SO MUCH BETTER . . . . . '

I removed the flat black latex paint that someone put on my poor previously tobacco burst Ripper and yep there's a big chunk of filler on the upper horn:
