I'm sure I have the Samaritans on speed-dial. 🥺

But how long before Rick comes back er gain?

Lucky the RSPCA never got wind of that one. Or indeed, the RSPCU. 🙃

That would put you somewhere around Antarctica Nilorius. 🤭

Like this one:

The Ballad of Cat Ballou - Nat 'King' Cole

Look away Vicar.

Try looking on Fenderfever website. They're in London and carry lots of Japanese gear.

Probably in the hands of Coogee Bear by now.

If that came as a five-string and had a maple board, I'd be all over it. Space Oddity here we go.

Slow Boat to China -Peggy Lee

Then you have signature basses like the Buzzard, which although containing no signature at all, firmly point to a specific player (in this case, George Formby) 🤥 Me, I'm still searching for a Roscoe Beck V in CAR, and have been for years.

My bad. 👹

Damn! Just dropped it into a charity shop this morning as well.

Steady, steady! 😁

Torty McTortface for me. 👍

Down the Dustpipe - Status Quo

Sorted 🙂

Move to St Kilda. There's a lot of rock there. 😎

I think the Gibson had coil tapping switches for each pickup and a full-contact Babicz bridge. This does look remarkably similar to your example, with the open pole-pieces. The Gibson sounds nothing like a Musicman Stingray whatsoever. Might be wrong, but the pups were those used on Gibson's EB4/5 basses and sound very good (to my ears anyway). I like the one you posted, for what it's worth. 😁

Been there (so often), done that (ditto). 😭

A fine selection
