I'll wager it has some nice tones as it is but there ain't a P tone among them.

He says the work was done 30 years ago.

In 1981, this was a boring old bass, not worth very much, and more-or-less identical to others being played in 10,000 pubs across Britain.

That actually looks interesting. If the lipstick's no good, you could replace it with one of [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kent-Armstrong-Split-Tube-Bass-Guitar-Pickup-Chrome-R-/130353448526?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item1e59abc64e"]these[/url]. Maybe it won't go for a vintage price, but won't be holding my breath.

Would be nice but my guess is that someone will see a bunch of vintage parts there rather than a neat custom or restoration.

There are a few bits on there I could make use of. I'm sure it'll fly when it gets near to it's end time.
