Value of a modded 76 thunderbird

Being a 70's Bicentennial bass none of the mods on this are desirable. Headstock repair devalues it by something closer to 50% not 30%. I wouldn't pay more than 1.5k. You might be able to squeeze 2k out of it but it would have to be a really good day.

Thanks well aware the mods hurt it
I'd peg it somewhere in the $1300 to $1800 range, maybe. A headstock repair isn't a deal breaker as long as it's solid, but as mentioned lowers value. Me, personally, I'd probably prefer one that's had a solid headstock repair. Looks like a fun bass though!
