I think at the time the front cover was quite shocking and therefore in keeping with the band and the music. But yes, today the back seems so much better
I'm also discouraged by the fact that the only time I bought from their website in the past I received a very unapologetic (note the 'un') email the following day indicating that the bass had sold already, despite the fact that their website had been very happy to take my cash anyway!
Thanks all, much appreciated, As per @uk_lefty post, yes considering what even bog standard US Precisions sell for used these days the price isn't too hefty really, I'm assuming the J-PUP is a modification?
I had to walk a similar distance one night in the 80's following a mate's band's gig in a West London club on account of Lemmy having signed the £10 note that was otherwise going to get me a taxi home
