Good job! Where is the body from?

The body come from a 35 year old Italian jazz copy, branded Parrot, that had a warped neck and no trussrod...

Burns Scorpion reissue that I modded into a jazz
I love the neck and it plays like a dream

Maybe I should get rid of it and get me another bass... Problem is that I live in Malta so there is shipping... Anyone wanna trade for a bass with slim jazzbassy neck?

One of the pincers were broken a half badly glued back by the previous owner, otherwise it is i perfect shape

What were you thinking of doing, removing the pincers?

Something like that, yes Don't know yet, just want to see if it would be totally wrong to do so...

I might do a new body for it but it is less work to modify... decisions, decisions...

Hey all. I have a Burns Scorpion Bass, reissue.

I do like the pups, hardware and the neck but I hate the body.
Would it be super stupid to mod the bodyshape?

Anyone done it before?

Or should i build a new body for it?

Regards
