"I'm not related to the seller."

How he lies.  :-\ All Dutchmen are.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Inbreeding wooden shoes wearing pot smokers.
FYI: Even our future king is more than half German (German grandfather and German father)

Looks like that bird may have had a split P pickup at some point. At least the patch-up was done in a way that leaves it covered by the pickup ring. Beautiful bass!
