"Crusty Fernandes". Sounds like you have a new stage name.

I think you may have just found the "Best bass for metal" that everyone's been looking for!

or the best bass for punk

hitting the body with a palm sander so that I didn't risk a tetanus infection every time I played it.

I might just dip it in hand sanitizer...

funny how pristine the serial number sticker is, compared

I was surprised by that too. Actually the headstock seems unmolested.

... at the local strip club

Between the bridge, pickups, and tuners, you did good for $30.
Keep it for spare parts or whatever.

And a gig bag

Didn't Rocco Prestia play one of these for a while?

 

[gregmon79]

Oh man this would be a super fun project!!!

 

[klejst]

Now that is punky and rock-n-roll! It's been beat however I like the way it looks.

 

[bearhart74]

You should drill a few holes in it just to complete the look.

Great project!

Maybe burn some holes in it

hi chadface

The output jack is loose and takes some fiddling to work. None of the pots seem to do anything but it doesn't sound half bad.

You have to get a better amp!

Happy NBD!!!

may the bass be with you

It's a match made in hell

 

[wraub]

Project goodness!

Nice score...I'd buy that for $30.
I have plans just looking at it.

 

[Standalone]

I like the school desk look. Rock it with short pants and a blazer with a crest.

Don't knock the TNT 130. I don't think I've played a gig yet that mine couldn't have covered.

 

[Riff Ranger]

As others have said, worth it for the neck alone. Get to work on that thing and let us know how it turns out (there’s a thread for that).

 

[chadface]

For $30 how bad can it be?

As long as the neck is straight and the intonation is good everything else can be fixed.

It's bowed right now but the truss rod is turning! Now we wait...

 

[Gunga Din]

Nah. They make 'em bone stock like that.

[bound'n'blocked]

The 80's ruled!
