These look like some of the coolest basses I've seen (feature-wise) although this one is pretty beat up.... Might be just the project someone around here is looking for.

Doesn't look like one with the ebony fretboard however.

Thats mine. Needs a heat treatment on the neck to be back in playable condition.

I'm hoping for a tank tone. Is the octave box really busted?

I believe so. I know it doesnt really make sense fir a bass but i would imagine it would not sound so horrible...

An octave box on a bass means you feel it more than hear it, haha.

exactly :)
except I don't think the circuitry is too happy... thought, it's not potted, and it's just a single layer of components, so it could be repaired if needed...
