Guest MoJo Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Looks a bit more serious than that to me. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264008229873 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The description seems pretty honest though, and he asks for the buyer to collect 'so they can see what they're getting' which seems fair too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I see that yesterday it looks like the body is split , not the paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgehouse Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 If it goes for the current price it would be a very cool project... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Somebody thought that they might have a go at being a Rock God? That's no surface crack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The crack goes right through to the front, you would have to split the body and re join it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, split it, biscuit joint it glue and clamp it . It actually looks like quite a nice bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually looks like quite a nice bass It’s certainly not fatal - and with a bit of tlc it would be an excellent bass I reckon. Course, it wouldn’t be original, but I think it’s gone past being worth anything for it’s vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 It's a cracking bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hard to tell what's going on - poor thing's face is proper smashed in, so it's likely the rear body cracks are connected. However - the cracks on the headstock look like water/damp damage to me, like it's been left in a cold/damp garage or loft for years. No telling what the consequences of that are - I'd want to see it first-hand before I'd risk much more than £60 on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
