That it is! I feel like I've seen this one before with the relocated pickup selector.

[shrug] Yeah, I used to care more...


...but ducks and quacking clichés aside, those basses were both for sale right here from the original seller. Just like the one Trevor posted here. Any one of us, or really any casual visitor here could have made the same deal for any of them. If you're of a mind to sell, AboveTheSun (or whatever moniker he's going by these days) shows up with cash and a paid FedEx label. All you have to do is get there first. He took the risk, hassle, and expense of international shipping on these, so... there they are, in Flipsville, CO. Whatcha-gonna-do?  ;D

Very pretty! I wonder what was done with the original pickups.
