He might pay you NOT to return it. I sense some pretty bad juju amongst that thing. If you notice an inordinate number of flies in your windows soon, or anyone in your family inexplicably speaking Aramaic or druid language or something, I'd recommend hailing the Dark Lord every hour for a day and then arranging the instrument like a crucifix and ceremonially burning it with a sacrificial serpent bound in an Ace bandage (don't ask me how I know that's the right move).

Now is your chance... to start an Urban Legend about this ‘Evil Mothman Bass’. Devise a full back story about how it was created, and document all the ‘strange happenings’ since it came into your possession. Don’t let this opportunity pass. Your bass will be much more valuable later!

OK, someone beat me to it, make sure your tetanus shot is current.

That bridge is 100% the coolest homemade thing ever. Full adjustment, just a lot of room for intonation, well done. Not sure if the frets allow for intonation but the hinge bridge is awesome.

Aesthetically I love those position markers. I could see doing screw or bolt inlays on a nicer bass because it could tie in an industrial look.

How are the pups?

So far the pups work for the skinny strings on it. Its just a jack and no knobs yet. Im dying to make it a bass, but my boy loving it makes me hold off awhile.

I have a doner pbass for tuners, and maybe the frets!

I have to go on record and say that I LOVE that bridge! I so want a beater P-bass with a natural wood finish, rosewood neck, and that bridge.

The bridge was THE draw to it.

So, you’ve posted this in the Basses section. Do you plan to turn this into a Bass VI with your restoration project?

I actually love this.

Hows the sustain?

Tone is better than the sustain. The frets almost fall out. There is silicone holding some of them in.

I may pull the frets off of a junk p-bass and try to reinstall them on this.

Now that has got to be one of the most awe inspiring “hardware store and scrapwood heap” instruments ever made! The only thing that could possibly make it any more impressive is if you found some sheetrock used somewhere in its construction.

That’s what I call a true American original collectible! :thumbsup::cool:
