Well, you got the better end of that sale by far. Fixed right, it needs a neck graft, new fingerboard and Bridge in the least, $4-5k maybe. Re-repairing the Top will be a few thousand as well. All in all, in my world this bass in the condition you sold it in was worth negative zero. For me to sell a Bass it has to cost less to repair than it is worth. This clearly would cost $6-8k minimum to restore from what you described.
