I found me a bass. In pieces.
This thing was at a neighborhood garage sale. Neck off and in a box. I know Matao from years back made some lawsuit stuff but don't know much about their P-Bass copies. Seems pretty well made in terms of the body and neck.
I snapped some pics. Unfortunately I don't have any bass strings lying around so I don't know much yet.
This doesn't look promising:

The truss rod nut doesn't look good, but that nut looks pristine tho'.
Should be a bit of fun getting it in working order.

Man, that thing has a look. Whatever you do, don’t change the look!

Yeah. And that look is COOL AF.
Maybe swap out that pickup for something meatier though.

I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

Strung up and set up. Needed very little adjustment.

Looks like flats.
That is a very attractive bass.

Sensational score - peak P bass in my book, single single-coil is the business. Stunningly pretty too.
If you decide to sell it at some point, put me on the list!
