Put this poor thing out of its misery.

On the other hand, with all those screws and bolts it might work for metal.

It can be repaired. It will have some ugly scars, but it can be made fully functional again. No need to destroy it or send it to the dump.

We’re generally more electric bass on this side but, like Bruce said, that’s probably fixable. At worst, you could save the fingerboard and maybe headstock and use them on a new neck.

That's the rutles best song!

I'm with Bruce and Matt. Fix it if you can; if not part it out and salvage what is usable. From the pics, we have no idea of the condition of the top, back, and ribs.

If you find anyone to 'fix' that bass I've got a boat I'd like them to work on.

Just pull that bolt in the heel and put a big sheet metal washer on it. OK!

 

[Eli Brockway]

Well, as long as you're putting it out of its misery I'll take the strings.

I asked that guy via FB if he was interested in snapping the neck the rest of the way off and sending it down to NC but for the asking price, it still wouldn’t make sense. I’d love to have another project bass!

Found at last!!! The remains of Robinson Crusoe's boat.
