Does anybody have any idea as to if it's still around and if so, where?

Richard, it's in a private collection, and the owner has a very low-key profile. Rest assured that it's in a very good home.

Only fitting that it is hanging on one of "Four Walls", Lefty.

IIRC a collector from Japan has the original Blue Boy 360F - wonder what became of the bass!

I have a great lead on the bass, John! I have been after that for quite a while.

It's not for sale by him...he's a Rick enthusiast who posted a picture from another source.
Japanese sellers typically will post a price in numbers we can read, if they post one at all. It's usually in thousands of yen, so "330" will be 330,000 yen, or at roughly 100 yen to a dollar, $3,300.00, fo example.
