I'm not convinced this 1970's P is completely original. Or, indeed, complete.

Just.. WTF

[Woodinblack]

$5000, well, that is a bargain for something so.. unique. 

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

Why would someone do that?

 

Also that headstock looks like it will be as sticky as a wetherspoons table.

 

The body is essentially worthless. Any value would be in parting the rest of it out, but I don't understand why someone would list something so filthy without any attempt to make it look presentable.

[Woodinblack]

They figure your eyes won't spend any time looking at the headstock on this one!

Looks like it's been dipped in a British river.

I think the neck, tuners, and neck plate are early '70s, but the body? Electrics? Who knows.

Drugs. Probably really dodgy acid.

 

It's the only explanation that makes any sort of sense.

 

[Jackroadkill]

That was a fugly bass before the termites got at it.

A piece of rock history, though. Whatever that means, it has to be worth at least 99% of the asking price.

Presumably the rock in question is one of crystal meth.

Oh dear! Great AI description……not! I think they missed the opportunity to state some extra bull such as ‘matching brown headstock’! 😁

[NancyJohnson]

It's 20% off.

 

😁

Anyone buying that better make sure their tetanus shots are up to date.
