Yeah..it's worth what...MAYBE $450 shipped if the neck is in good condition....
I don't get it....sure I guess technically it's vintage, but it was a cheap bass built before the overseas manufacturing days of the Squier line. ...this doesn't seem like a timeless "vintage" instrument to me....
...now my '76 Rickenbacker 4001..that was old and beat up...and was the coolest looking bass back when my parents got it for me as a freshman in high school in '89....THAT'S vintage....still have it! ...heck...even played it in marching band until the pickups finally died..

What if the neck is HOPELESSLY warped? Then, the two choices are 1/ lose the "Made in USA" headstock when the neck is replaced or 2/ own an unplayable bass
