While going through the hock shops in Las Vegas in the late 80's, we ran into a nice '63 P-Bass.
It had been played quite a lot, but it was all original, and priced significantly lower that what we could sell it for. The only problem was that one of the tuners was really bent - almost at a right-angle to where it should have been.
We stood for a couple of minutes trying to figure it out, then decided to buy it anyway (of course).
The store guy said "oh sure, it has the original case, too' and went and got it.
We put the case on the counter and opened it to put the bass in it and noticed two bullet holes right by the bent tuner. There was an entrance and an exit hole.
If that bass could talk, what kind of a story it could tell, huh?
