Nice bass trashed by a stupid kid

Unfortunately that kid was me.
I was visiting my parents recently (with my wife and son) and my mom said "hey are you ever going to take that guitar to your house?". Excited I unzipped the gigbag and found my bass from when I was 15. Thought you might enjoy....and yes I am embarrased.
Defretted,dehorned (no chance of playing sitting down), Steve Vai handle that if you hold it the neck dives like you are using a metal detector, dremeled inlay, but those emg's were just the right size!

What Exactly made you cut off the lower part of the bass?

 

[Nashrakh]

equal parts...that thing was HEAVY!!! and I saw Rainbow's guitar player

 

[Chasarms]

It looks like Sid from Toy Story became a bass player.

 

[chris griffiths]

that thing is awesome...I would play that in a heartbeat

My 13 year old son would leave the Earth for committing such a crime against a bass. Especially since I would most likely be its sponsor......

 

[NateS]

wow.

i'd play it, but..

wow.

 

[James Simonson]

I think you rule because you went there. It's just a bass. Why not?

 

[kcole4001]

At least it seems you learned from your mistakes!

 

[funkydjembe]

much as i would like to play that, i couldn't, feel like a one legged bass,,i would fall off the stage from the imbalance

 

[RedLeg]

that bass is more punk rock than me.

 

[PastorofMuppets]

Holy Sheep S**t!
Rainbow's guitar player was Ritchie Blackmore, who has almost always played a Strat. What could he possibly have to do with the atrocity you perpetrated on that poor Peavey? (and I don't even like the damn things!) Was this some kind of attempt at a Rick Allen or Heather Mills sig model?

 

[chris griffiths]

JOhnboy65 don't take that. You were right get out there and make it your own!!!! its not like you clipped up a 65 P or something. I think what you did rocks!!!! just stay away from My lowends.....

I'm going to be the glass half full guy here.
Look at it this way: you have all the necessary pieces to purchase the Warmoth body of your choice and put a bass together that looks exactly like you want it to.

Could be worse. Back in HS (circa 1979) I knew a guy who committed a similar abomination to his pre-CBS Jazz. He cut the headstock so it came to a point, and moved the "G" tuner to the other side so he had a 3+1. Then he cut a slice off the lower body offset. Asked why he did it, he said something along the lines of "because it's mine, and I can do what I want with it".
