I'm thrilled!!! I've been wanting one of these pretty badly for years.
Fortunately, the story of this bass is not lost in the annals of time.
It has quite a colorful history!
I'm working on getting together info and additional pictures and will add them by tomorrow morning.
Cheers to all!!!

Very nice, Tony!
I bet it plays like no other bass. Now all you need is a 1997 and a 1993, and then you'll have the essential Rose Morris models (I am under the impression you have a 1998 guitar, right?).

Thanks everyone! Sorry to keep you all in suspense, but I won't have time today to get the story together. I'll work on it tomorrow morning at 5AM in total silence with a pot of coffee at my side!

Jake, well I do have a three pickup 335S that was shipped to Italy...not a 1998 Rose Morris English export per say. Collin...
The 1993 is a TALLLL order! I would love to have one...and after the 1999, it is on TOP of my list...but somehow I don't
think that boat will ever come in...never know I guess.
Here are few more pics in the meantime...

Well, one clue as to history may be the PLM on the case . . .

Yes, it has been played!
Considering...it's remarkable how nice the front and back of the body is.
