Is there any excuse for this??

...and don't think "fits in a guitar case" is valid.

😆 Yes, a real 'vintage' beaut. I might just pass on that even if it does fit into a case.......

Cosmetically there are some traces of use

Surely a typo - abuse is spelled wrong

[Woodinblack]

I think the refinishing is done well

He mentioned the rear tuning peg cover missing,  but glaringly doesnt mention the 2 washers missing on the tuners on the front.

 

Nasty piece of modding on what was probably a good bass

[Dan Dare]

Is there any excuse for it? How about insanity?

[Bassassin]

I think it's a butchered Ibanez Blazer or Roadstar II RB630. The only original parts are the neck, body & neckplate, which dates the remains to January 1983. I get the impression whoever did this probably didn't have the original parts.

 

It's still sh!t, though.

Bongo-esque.

The off kilter scratchplate makes it look worse than it actually is. You could probably turn that into a nice bass, but the asking price is ridiculous. The only "vintage" parts have been severely modified (or butchered, spending on your opinion...) so to ask the best part of £250 for it seems bonkers. If it was £50 on Facebook Marketplace, I might be tempted, but as I paid £130 for a nearly new Harley Benton JP-45OP late last year, the seller may need to think again about the pricing.
