Man, where to begin.. I've installed Kahlers on guitars, and in every instance, it RUINED the instrument. Killed all the tone and sustain.. a big price to pay for being able to do what those did. On that Rick, there's a big, gaping hole under that thing, a P-bass pickup- but that rout- I shudder to think of what THAT work looks like- would be covered by a new guard with the correct pickup. The BIG weird mystery here, is the bound fingerboard with dot markers.

Bound body says 4001-03, but the neck says major repairs may have been done. Bound necks, at least all I've seen, have the triangle inlays. That may have a replaced fretboard. The nut is totally wrong, too. It's weird. How to make a vintage Jacksonbacker? Like that.

I used to own a 4003 when I was in my early 20s and installed EMG P--bass pickups on the neck. It seems strange to me that I did such a thing now that it's 35 years later.

I should have added the seller also noted "Feel free to ask about the other 70’s Fenders. The ‘75 P Bass is dead mint."

So the ugly Ric has some nice looking Fenders.

Yep. Really irrelevant bit of info. When it comes down to it, the actual condition is what is important.
