Hey folks,
So I've had this knocking around for a few years. It came to me with a broken truss rod. After taking it to a guy who thought he knew what he was doing, I discovered the neck was twisted too.

Anyway the guy took the fretboard off and planed a little too much. The area you see in the photos was filled with the dust from the Ovangkol neck, and wood glue+filler.

The low price is because obviously it's had work and the guy slipped up abit.

BUT it has a new WORKING Warick truss rod, no twist, very straight neck and low action. It sounds awesome and I've spent a year or so getting it to my liking in terms of action and being able to use the dam thing. MEC pickups, Warwick hardware, Bubinga body and Ovangkol neck.

I paid £570 for it as a project so it's a bargain for someone just looking for a bass to either tart up or beat up.

Cheers folks!

Good luck with your sale :)

By the way, this is not a pro series. This is the original made in Germany Corvette :)
