I posted some more pics.
Plywood is delaminating at edges, bung for end pin is not flush and tilted, neck looks to be epoxied to body. Comes with a bow.
It sounds like I am going to be storing my friends bass since he is in a skilled care facility and his wife is moving to an apartment in the same facility.
Ok, this bass would cost many times its value to fix professionally and return it to new-like condition as when made. I would not pay for a bass in this condition. The top is sunken in a bit as well from the look of the F hole E-side. It is literally a mess. Cheap made basses often do not hold up.
