Gather and adore  :o, a coral pink Q 80:

I love the way it is hardware-wise quite a bit worn, even rusty, yet the fin is still in good shape save for some fading and some nicks. Oh, why am I thus tempted?  :-\ I do not collect for fins, I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins,  I do not collect for fins ...

You tell us Uwe..... you like blancmange?

I've not studied these in detail (I don't have the stomach for it), but 1981 - bit early for a Q-80 isn't it?

Time machine! Well, of course, it has to be 87ish when Herr Charvel worked on those. By 1988, the Q 90 was already being worked on.


PS: If you squint real hard at the picture of the back of the headstock, then it seems to be indeed an 87.

No thanks. Even if you did collect for finishes, who wants a bass the color of Pepto-Bismol?
