Would you rock this bass?

I've been reconsidering my original thought of no. I would get rid of "BOOBIE" and keep the little guy, lose Trev. Put a new pickup and bridge and knobs on it. Give it an outrageous paint job like a nuclear orange or green, maybe even pink. Seems like a great opportunity to have something unique.
I've been thinking about this for a decent amount of time now and I'm gonna keep the body and the artwork. Because the bass has no brand this is gonna be the Trev TJ2 Signature boobie bass. I'm going to look for a really random ass color and refinish it, maybe I should do a poll for the color. I replaced the pickup with some random one I found at a shop and it sounds pretty good so I'm going to leave that in. The bass is growing on me. It's like that ugly stepchild that you hate at first but then slowly love. I'll use it when I wanna turn some heads

Sounds cool, except the Boobie part. But maybe I could get used to it. Can't wait to see pics, go for the toxic waste green color.
 
I'd buy it for $30, get a body and scrape that ridiculous adolescent crap off the headstock, even if my name was TREV. As said the neck and electronics would be worth more than $30.

Would I play it out as is? Probably late in a gig as a goof, but only after I'd sprayed it with some nauseating color.
