Lookin' for a cheapy

[Bass_masta16]

I'm not sure if this could go here, it was either here or the "Luthier's Corner", so feel free to move it if you want Mods.

Ok, so my drummer and I are making a random parts bass for Woodshop (make whatever you want for CCA), and we have a Squier Precision neck, Squier Pups, black and red tort PG (can't decide which one), thumbrest (well, tugbar.. you'll understand in a second), random bridge (will fit Fender), and a bridge cover.
We're going for a vintage (hence the thumbrest) look so what I'm looking for is a Sunburst P-Bass body.. I honestly don't care if this thing is made out of plywood, I just need the neck to fit.

So my main question: I've been searchin' on the 'bay, and I can't seem to find anything.. So can someone point me to a website, or somewhere where I can get a cheap a** body, or maybe just a whole bass that's really, really cheap- like, 100-150 max?

Thanks.

Oh, and if you guys are wondering, yes, we did get all the Squier P parts from the same guy- why he didn't have the body? I could not tell you.

in classifieds, there is a 'Wanted' section. I think this may fit there.

You can get a J-bass body from Rondo for $45.00. Can't get much cheaper than that.

+1, then you can set it up however you want it. It doesn't look like those bodies have pre-drilled holes for anything either so you can use whatever hardware you want on it, and finish it in whatever color you want. Perfect for woodshop class.

Sometimes you can find a body, neck, etc. at a Music-Go-Round.

Good luck!

My teacher goes out on breaks and smokes pot in his pipe (no lie).. It's not going to take much convincing to tell him I did it. Especially if I offer him a bag of chips or something.

And people ask why american manufacturing and work ethic continues to decline.

"DO IT RIGHT BECAUSE YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHAT YOU BUILT"... rather than cheating and knowing you took the easiest road, and potentially getting caught.
