Stingray abuse

I just couldn't post this in eBay treasures. I can't understand what the intended purpose of this monstrosity was going to be, so I'll just shake my head and say no to drugs.

I clicked the link thinking, "Surely, it's not that bad." And, Shirley--it was.

A monkey with a screwdriver that had been smoking something did the custom routing. The pictures will have to tell the story, because the body is in a state of terrified shock.

Sounds like he bought it that way thinking he could do something with it. The mind boggles at the original intent.

He also has the original pickup (someone here probably needs one), and *gulp* one tuner available in his auctions.

I'm curious to know what the routing was for - just to know the full story

Look, normally I'd say "it's your bass, do what you like," but if you ever even think of attempting such a thing again, I'll see to it that your arm gets gnawed off by a chinchilla.

Maybe the person was going to install a Russian Big Muff Pi, still inside the chassis.

EEKK!! The mind boggles ........... Must of been a case of slipped a bit here so cut a bit more to level it up, that should do it !!!
Do what exactly is anybodies guess ???

I'm thinking a BBC.......( Big Block Chevy) was destined for install in that Stingray.... ( all the cool 'vettes had 'em).

Hmmmm...I just see a real challenging project. On my watch list.

Well, it was a Stingray body. Now it's a black chunk of wood with a gaping hole in it. One can only imagine what kind of depravity was in store for it.

Seriously, don't fix it if it ain't broke.

It's dead Jim

Actually, the greater mystery is why some fool would bid $9.99 for it!

Jimminy Christmas what was the person thinking that did the hack job on that? That is a shame to see that.

I guess I'm a fool as I'd pay $10 for that PoS all day long. That and $10 worth of wood epoxy and ya got yourself a fun little project...not to mention giving this baby a new lease on life.
