[Clarky]

As you willl see it really retains the essence of an early 70s Precision [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-1971-Fender-Precision-Bass-Body-Modified_W0QQitemZ360254267993QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item53e0d3e259"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-1971-Fender-...=item53e0d3e259[/url]

Jeez! Well that's properly devalued

[Ou7shined]

Nope. I can't see it. Are there too many pg screw holes or something?

Darnit! I really need too swot up on the classics and stop embarrassing myself like that.

I can here it's little pleading voice saying 'I've still got that mojo.'

Not quite as awesome as the old Fender body that had been infested with termites.

[King Tut]

Lovely cavities!!

Certainly one way to achieve a light-weight vintage bass. You'd struggle to find a scratchplate for it, mind.

I think there's a fine line between "great... vintage project" and "firewood".

It's not [i]that[/i] fine a line, though.

I think it looks alright, would look quite good with a lick of paint on it and the hardware back on it. It'll probably go for cheap too. I might go for it if I were feeling the urge to have a go at a bitsa build, then I could play it in front of people and think to myself "yeah this is a vintage fender and none of you have the slightest idea"

[Soloshchenko]

I just spewed after seeing that.

[wesfinn]

reminds me of the spoombung bass!

see 90% of the audience wouldnt notice a vintage fender, they just see 'that big guitar'.
That body however would get you noticed!
