more pics in sunlight.. you can see the pain is literally gonna fall off on the majority of the outside of it.. the light really shows how the paint is raising.. my 72 mustang bass is in wayyyyyyyy better shape paint wise.. just a bad paint job i guess..or lack of care..

Was that left out in the sodding rain or something? There's a lot of blue pigment lifting from the black.

Market value is around that though - they are all 70's models I've seen a couple go cheaper, a couple more pricey. Mine was that kind of price, however my paint is a lot better, although a little flakey

i had a friend in ohioh with a mid 70's musicmaster guitar that looked exactly like that no joke, it looked like a bowling ball.
you should keep that thing.
i once heard the gibson was having issues like that with thier guitars in the late 60's from painting over paint that was still wet, it was to compete with the numbers that fender was putting out.
anywho,
you should probly just sell it to roboe, or me, roboroe just bought like 2 guitars and is have 80 bucks worth of work done to one of his existing guitars.....
no im kidding i would never snipe a deal from a shortscaler.
unless it was mezz, i would snipe a deal and then hide it so fucknig quik mezz would be like " is there something hiding around here that i should konw about?"

green day is an apple, they were good, but now they are rotten, smelly and overall need to be throw into a compost pile never to return.
thats a personnal opinion tho, and this is comming from the same guy that has said.
yeah, john denver, i can dig it.
purple, srsly, what year, and how much did you pay for that thing?
