....and in case anyone is wondering....

Here is a "Shadow update"....

I have so far compiled 19 units consisting of:
8 ZI's from Sept.'86
2 ZJ's from Oct. '86
8 ZK's from Nov. '86
1 ZL from Dec. '86 (unverified)

This does not include one owned by JH...

I have scoured sites , check the 'bay everyday, followed all leads, gotten names , made phone calls , sent e-mails....this is all I have so far....if anyone has any other leads they'd like to share, please let me know!!

My call is that this isn't the same bass that sold on May 30. The May 30 Shadow looks to have a little more "playing Mojo." Look at the headstock:

It's not the same bass as here, even though he did win this auction:
