I have a few bits lying around which were originally acquired for a quirky furniture project which was abandoned.

There is a neck and red body from a Yamaha 4 string, no hardware. GONE
There's also a J shaped body. This is definitely an amateur job. Pine body with wenge top. Again, no hardware. In fact I'm not even sure there's a neck socket!

Collection only from Bulwell, Nottingham.

BB450. My diagnosis was that the trussrod was maxed out, but I am a n00b and may have got it wrong. I've got most of the hardware still.

Yes, Alyctes kindly sent these to me when I had ideas about making quirky tables from old bass bodies. Since then, my designs have gone in quite a different direction, and quite successfully so. Consequently I don't think the bass table thing will happen. Rather than have these sit in my workshop, I thought another BCer should have the use from them.

Yamaha bits now gone to the turnip-headed Gibsonphile

OK - as requested, some pics:





As you can see, it's an inverted body. The new owner may wish to undergo some inversion reversal work ;¬)

Routs are rough and ready.
There's a slight saw overcut near the neck
The joins seem structurally sound, but not seamless aesthetically
The neck pocket is 15mm deep!
