Shame as that would be an extremely nice bass without the chewed up fretboard.

Haha, I saw this earlier this evening and thought the same

What a bloody shame. They might as well have smashed it with a clawhammer or chucked it out of a top floor window. Lovely bass wrecked.

I guess new board would be the way to go, but it's going to be a big job.

Maybe  if he wanted £90 for it rather than £300.

That's still a good chunk of bass for £300 if you could do the work yourself, what pickups did the Korean A5 have, Mighty Mites? I have a Korean C5P and it's a hell of a bass, paid £90 plus postage for it a few years ago and I preferred it to the Indonesian B5 I had.
