If hope so at 16k
Is a nice bass otherwise, except for the horrible glue staining.

Weird, I thought in the video I saw glue stains.
Must have been the video quality

I'll take the compliment! I took the photos in the Register when I owned this bass. I sold it a while back to the bass player in a well known blues/rock group. He has evidently decided to move it.

Before I acquired it, this bass was for sale on ebay and it seemed that nobody wanted it. The seller had a reissue horsie in it, with the original in the case. There was also some additional badmouthing of the bass on this forum. When I got it, I discovered the main problem -- the adjustment screws for the horsie were a bit too short, so I had some slightly longer ones made, identical in spec except for the length. Presto, the original horsie was back in and working.

I hope the new owner enjoys it!

I see this one has those adjustable angle mutes.

Beautiful!

The action looks pretty high in some of the pictures and it looks like the bridge is bottomed out.

Is that an optical-illusion, Ron?

[jps]

It sure looks that way to me, too.

For $16K I'd want the proprietor to be able to pronouce the name correctly!

As I recall, the action was medium-to-high and the bridge was bottomed out.
