JJJ you better take Trout with you it looks like you are on a mission she may be able too slow you down. You got too be suffering crazy hoarder syndrome.

Actually, I was out on a date when I found it. Maybe going out again this weekend. I think she has the idea that I like guitars.

I'm not a bass player Bill but that bass guitar has given me GAS. Sure is pretty!

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

That's the Rogue Beatle Bass, bluejeep and as far as I know they're no longer being made. Take a look on eBay if you want one. Mine cost $298.00 from Musician's Friend. Comapred to the Höfner model at $1600.00.

I can't play bass as well as I'd like, so what do I want with a Höfner? smile

PS: If you'll look closely at the Jasmine, you'll see a piece of paper sticking up on the body near the neck. It contains the chords and words to "Happy Birthday" (the original, not the one I wrote) which I sing for Dondra every year. smile

Re: Call me crazy. Call me a hoarder, Another NGD again.

Work in progress. Just bought a set of Ping Tuners. Ordered a Gretsch Tailpiece and a Demont Ebony Bridge. Total investment so far---$120.00.  Once it is put together, I will worry about the pickups. One works, one is weak. It may need just a cleaning. The nut is way too high.  It will definitely need to be filed down.I won`t touch the paint. The  "Previously Loved" look is the way I want to keep it.

When the pickups need a look, you can probably get something at Guitar Fetish that will work well, and cost little.
