i'm super impressed with the condition having been left out in the rain for a few days. there is a small-ish chip in the poly which revealed a plywood body but i think i'll do a paint job, plus the neck is dead straight and the electrics are fine. i may update my progress if there's any interest in seeing it.

AWESOME score!

Right off the bat the intonation needs adjusting. That bridge is WAY off. If there's a warp in the neck there's plenty of vids on youtube abut adjusting the truss rod. They're all on guitar. The only difference with a bass is you need to take your time with it. It rook me two weeks to get a 1/4 inch warp out of the bass I have.
