Exclamation also..

It looks like the Scroll/Pegbox was broken off at one time and repaired. I see Screw scars by the Nut area and a repaired graft mark under the pegbox in the rear by the button.

This is not a good sign because if it needs a neck graft again to fix it properly, it will exceed its value 2-3x the worth of the Bass in its current state.

I would walk away from this Bass. Even for free, it could cost way more to fix than it can ever be worth.

Don't feel bad. There are tons of Basses like this and worse that are on the market. The problem is that many people buy them without knowing what they are getting in to.
