A complete Fender set up, from strings to drivers. No one has a complete Fender setup. I'm not even sure there're still in business.
I remember that thread, truly a unique instrument.Ohhhh. I just realised something that i'm the only person to have one of....
My Butcher Bass travel bass. Bought a Greg Bennett Corsair short scale and proceeded to cut away unnecessary wood and part of the headstock. The J pup is now redundant and I made a different route for the remaining controls. It actually plays pretty well, sounds decent, hangs on a strap better than you would expect and all up only owes me about Aud$140 (about $100 US).

I remember that thread, truly a unique instrument.
I bought it new on a whim in 1986, was a guitarist at the time. The music store had it by the door marked down to $350 IIRC. Apparently they were shunned (MIJ, different body, non traditional head stock). Several years later I recorded one 8 song demo with it and played it for about a year until I scored a Ric 4001. Allegedly the neck was designed to appeal to guitarist. It certainly appealed to me, turned me from a guitarist to a bass player. It's still in like new condition, not a mark on it.There's almost 800 posts in this thread:
