Hi! To find out what I can do, say @Bassbot display help.
Yes!! The best thing about free, is that you can do whatever you want with it now, and not worry about it one bit- it can be as experimental as you want 
Keep us posted on these projects!

Thanks to my insomnia, the P-thing is fully disassembled and I removed all the stickers. Not a very fun task, but that’s done.
Look at how flat the pickguard was

Much better after some negociation, involving a heatgun :

So I’m working slowly on the body repairs. nothing really serious but some cracks here and there, the strap buttons holes to repair, things like that.
I also was wondering about the finish. I had several ideas but I finally decided to keep it simple. I happen to dig the color scheme of the Fender Nate Mendel signature PB and I decided to do something like that :
so today I’ve bought a Candy-Apple-Red-ish nitrocellulose lacquer. Fun fact : it’s almost the exact same color as my current car, which I will change this monday :

some news about the P-thing. more woodwork than what I expected : I had to fill all the pickguard and bridge holes. not a single one was in the right place. this will allow me to relocate the bridge and the pickup position regarding to the neck angle. I think I will have to do the same thing with the neck itself which is very poorly aligned.

One helluva project @terb! Looks like it’s gonna turn out nicely though. Bridge, pickups, and neck alignment are crucial to a well built instrument whether it be a guitar or bass…
Keep on Thumpin’
