Cool, thanks.  I was able to watch the reel.  But not sure if any of it was Momoa playing.

Ken Collins owns the real and only one, with its own web page.

Momoa's replica has a chrome cover mudbucker. The 1959 has a black plastic cover.

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

How incredibly vile and nasty you two are!  :-\ I had nothing whatsoever to do with the gestation of that particular bass, if you remember, a Texan car dealer wanted it that way and instructed the Custom Shop. I bought it decades later.

And soundwise, I bet it creams the mudbucker predecessors into the ground, so there!
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 ...
