Unhappy ah oh..

NOT Good. The Neck has been shattered and splintered. Maybe the worst is what you can't see. Epoxy repairable maybe but will never ever be like new, if it holds.

If it's yours, make an insurance claim.

If no insurance, fix it and be careful in the future.

If it's for sale, don't buy it!

I don't know Tim, as you said what a shame...

No way with this bass, as Ken say, there are so many risk.
