Not sure where to start. ... I guess the 70's kind'a explained themselves by now. ... A good guess is, the 'Caped Crusader' was named Robin and born in July.

Oh, they improved it.

Absolutely. In '71 as a kid in high school, I bought a Fender jazz for $100, when indeed it was just a used Fender. Also very popular to reshape/mod the livin' crap out of them. I know I did. Reshaped, made it a P/J, bad ass bridge, brass nut and parallel/series switch. Still have it and gig it occasionally.

The difference is you're not trying to hawk it now for 6 grand.

No one has yet mentioned the headstock crack running from the A tuner, through the E, and out the heel?

actually though, if someone wanted to make a Cancer (astrology sign) bass, the scale motif is a great idea. Color should be a darker green. But I would Never buy a Cancer bass, too many emotional issues in Cancer get in the way of a simple bass line.

Is this a case of "had a classic, ruined it, selling for classic price"?

I mean, what's a mid-late '60s Mustang worth in good condition? $25-30,000?

Edit: Also, crabs aren't fish. They don't have scales. That bass is some kind of Cancer/Pisces mashup.

Is this a case of "had a classic, ruined it, selling for classic price"?

Not every "classic" is in "classic" condition. I could see that as a deliberately over-the-top, why-the-[bleep]-not, last hurrah for something that's probably more rust than metal, a la the 24 hours of Lemons.
