It's Baaack! Pre-CBS Fender Precision mod from hell on CL

[petrus61]

Guys, in 1961 there would have been no difference whatsoever in nodding this as it would for anyone today to do that to a 2013P bass.

I would LOVE to see it with the fur still on it!

It would be less severe a crime, but a crime nonetheless!

It looks like it was dug up from a bass cemetery. The case is the coffin, the bass has been dead for over 50 years

This lovingly modified 1960 P would make a nice set. Was listed at a mere $3500 on ebay. Cannot for the life of figure out why it didn't sell.

For years now, the CDC has assured us that Polio has been eradicated. After seeing that P Bass, I beg to differ.

So, there are problems with the body mods, the finish, the bridge, the pickups, the neck, the action, the electronics, the tuners, the fretboard, the frets, the strap pegs, the pickguard, the controls, the input jack and the logo decals.

Apart from that - fine.

One of those rare instances where you won't find a single person that seems to actually like it.

Wow is that a partial fretless? Now THAT'S innovative! :/

Only fretless players use anything above the 7th fret so even that one is a waste of metal

So you are saying the bridge cover us OK?

Am I the only one that looks at stuff like this and thinks, Damn that would be a fun project?
To me, as someone who likes a good restoration challenge that thing is beautiful, as in a beautiful place to start upon it's journey back to a much more "original" state.
