Found this earlier in the week, 4 or 5 days before it was due to end, thought I'd see how it went then put a bid in if it didn't get to a stupid price. Was in London for the beginning of the week and the internet was down in the hotel. Came home, had forgotten about it then when I remembered - OUR internet was down. My grandad used to play one VERY similar to this and I've been pondering for ages about making a tribute, but the neck would be too tricky to do. This would have been perfect but alas... stupid internet

That's really not an easy bass to find spares for, especially the missing scratchplate + pickup.

I reckon you'd be better off waiting for a more complete example to come up.

The one my grandad played was even more rare than that... probably had a set neck, which had a black headstock which was shaped differently and had binding I think. Don't think the likelihood of seeing either, or parts, is very high but wasn't going to be a perfect replica like I said... just a tribute, done my way
