Hi Nick,
I just spoke with the owner. He seems like a decent Lad as you say We talked about the Bass and the perils of shipping. I think this Bass might be for you my friend ! This might be the Universe offering you something for your earlier loss . Karma offers a prize perhaps ?Take it if it feels right .

Thank you, sir. I talked to the owner this evening and he had a lot of nice things to say about you, Wolf. I think this one is in the bag. I will know tomorrow if we firmly agree on a price. Wish me luck.

Nick

Thank you all for the good wishes!!! I pick up the lost Hyak on Sunday. Now for the hard part, Giving Mica my credit card. Anyone have parts they are willing to let go of? Spare bridge? Thank all the Dieties the pre amps are still intact and useable. I think I will be looking at those odd colored pic-ups again. Gotta go make the money, more Sublime, and Marley covers await!

I also had an email conversation with him, but hate the old, you tell me what you think it's worth to you thing, so I dropped it. I can tell you I am in the middle of restoring a series one fretless and I had a very hard time finding parts and original electronics for it. New electronics are expensive, too. However, it will be cool when you are done with it. Alembic can still cast new pickups in the old molds. Also, Bartolini might make drop in pickups and electronics that might work well and still look good.

Good luck,
Dave

Anxious to see your fretless finished, how are the electronics?

Sorry for the off topic...

Good for you Nick!!! Be sure to do a FTC thread.

Thanks all for the good wishes! I will be sure to share all my love and frustrations with you with a FTC. I pick it up Tomorrow! It has been a long circle for me to get another Hyak. I had given up on my old one and let it go. Go figure, only then was I able to have another one manifest itself. I am feeling VERY LUCKY, to have a Series 1, and a Hyak come to me in less than 9 months. I am blessed.

Nick
