Yup, a beauty. Congrats Brett.
I was aware of a really clean original RM1999 down under, but I'm not too sure if it was this serial #. I'll have to check. No surprise with the serial number being close to Eden's, as this is where that DK batch went.
An absolute bargain IMO...
Now, any more in hiding down there...

Wow, Brett. Very nice acquisition. I am really amazed at the great shape this bass is in after all these years. Did you get the back story on it?
You are a lucky man indeed. Worth the noodle diet for a while!
Congrats to you and kudos to Darren!

That makes it around 25 that I know about IIRC. I'll have to have to check in with Gerry and Vincent to try and get a definitive list of what we know.
