One of those switches has a plug in it, what were they thinking?, it could have been put to any number of uses...the tonal possibilities are compromised by the missing switch.

There is every possibility that it sounds awesome. I'd try it out.
Must be that "Steam-Puke" fad I've been hearing about!A guitar playing friend, who has seen my luthiery skills (NUBD! (Warning- Ugly bass content)), sent along this pic-

I always wanted a bass with slide pots and a rotary switch for pickup selection. Maybe even some of those cool toggles with the red safety cover.
I had a bass sort of like that, once. Routed it out poorly to fit two strat pickups wired in series. Part of the body had broken off, so I nailed it back together. It had regular knobs, though.

Slap a custom tort pick guard on that puppy and you're good to go.
We recently has our home remodeled. I think we used the same contractor.
Custom pickguard, as in customized openings to show off the fullness of the routings/gashes where the pups sit? If so, I agree.
I'd love to hear what this guy sounds like.
I agree, all it needs is a big enough pickguard.
How much is he asking for it?

You just say that because it is missing the TORT pickguard... otherwise it is almost identical.
