this level of workmanship should inspire some of you too try a little harder. It's a tough lesson for sure but best it's from the best I say.

Note that the headstock has been cut and sanded clean to convert this bass into a 4-String

Helluva job there. Helluva job. I never in a million years would've guessed it had once been a 5-string.

Bra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-vo.

Don't look at it as a butchered headstock, look at it as a streamlined headstock with cigarette rest.

Only on a Squire...

I thought you were being serious. I clicked on the link, and saw the first pic-from far away.

First thing I thought was that somebody had stripped back the finished, applied venneers, and refinished, reshaped the headstock, and added humbuckers. I thought it was actually a brilliant job.

Then I saw the closeup of the bridge ( ) and it was all downhill from there.

That's utterly retarded.

Remember guys, only bidders with 3 or more feedbacks, we don't want just anybody putting a bit on this beauty...

They mutilated it. That's so sad.

I used to have one - they were quite a nice little bass - when in original condition.
As for that 'mod' words fail....

Headless Rickenbacker on UK EBay

"one of a kind"
you can say that again

[Ironbird13]

wow, so they've moved from tutorials to bass now

Don't look at it as a butchered headstock, look at it as a streamlined headstock with cigarette rest.

And without that unsightly extra tuner, the bass is now less neck heavy.
