Haha!
Your loaner bass really reminds me of a late ‘80s Larrivee bass I tried to purchase a few years back (in a moment of temporary insanity). Well, I have 3 beautiful Larrivee acoustic guitars so that, I suppose, had something to do with my interest.
The bass would not fire up, it was dead, and the greasy pawn shop seller would not come down in cash so I walked.
Funny how those hockey stick heads always have corner bash rash. I wandered back in 6 months later, it was still there. The salesman was embarrassed it had not sold but I wasn’t interested anymore.
