Poor Thunderbird: http://cgi.ebay.com/Gibson-Epiphone-Elit...1QQcmdZViewItem
They say you can replace the neck? Isn't it a neck-through-body deal?

The Epiphone Elitest line is built like the Gibson. It is a neck through (and costs more than the usual Epi bolt-on models CLICK )
If you could get it for $100 or less you could route a neck pocket and put a bolt-on or set-in neck. The fingerboard looks salvagable as well.

Basshappi- that's an idea- turn it into an Entwistle style Thundercaster with a Fender neck... too bad I can't do woodworking.

If you are talking about my auction, davebassman, I can't imagine what shipping would be to Sydney.

Hand made 5-string bass?
http://cgi.ebay.com/5-String-Fretless-Ba...1QQcmdZViewItem
Just because it doesn't have the label on the headstock doesn't mean it's a custom, hand-made bass. Looks like a Yamaha to me. Still, at that price, not a bad deal.

The original Travis Bean aluminum neck basses were impossible to keep in tune....the necks were extremely sensitive to temperature changes.
Aluminum is not a heavy metal.
What about steel?
Or how about.....Plutonium!

And on the headstock he even used those stick-on letters to label three of the strings.
How 60s is that?

Seriously, how can you authenticate such an item? They don't date-stamp them.

Here's what gets me:
"When will be the next time you'll find one in this condition... in 2-3 years when they go for $1700??"
Who's driving the market so hard that it will be worth that much? A******s like this guy!
