Bich Bass. Rare 34" scale

I purchased this rare 34" scale Bich bass off Ebay. It's hurt and needs refurbishing. I've decided to shoot some before and after pictures of this bass showing this process.
Bich basses were 30.5" scale. Only a very few were built in 34" scale.

         

Whoever painted this bass left the electronics in it when they did. All the electronics in the cavity are painted red. NOT GOOD
You can even see the red paint on the mini switch nuts. You can also see other cracks and chips.

         

         

There's one serious crack in the body running from the butt through the electronics cavity.
Fortunately, it will not effect the integrity of the body. I will fix it and you won't be able to tell it ever existed.

         

I scratched the back trying to see what wood it was made of. I couldn't get through the white primer. I'll have to sand off the finish. :-)
The paint on this bass was sprayed on with a spray can. Really a lousy job.

                                         

                                         

                                                 

I think I'm going to do this Bich in Glitter Rock White with black hardware. :-)
