I've put a second message (yes thats me, Dave) up as a second (third) one may have turned up...

I made a mistake with the origins of the name  - original poster is from Norway, but the newest post is more interesting as there is a date and a description (definitely made after I got mine)

Hi. I am very interested to find out more about your Peter Cook t bird.
I had one made in 77/78. It was white, with a chrome plate front and back,two chrome pickups and a selector switch on the lower horn. Also it had upside down Rickenbacker style fret markers. I sold the bass back to Peter in about 83, when i switched to playing guitar and got a Fender Strat from him. If this is by some miracle the same bass, I would be interested in buying it from you if it is for sale.
regards,
Steve Parsons

If nothing else, you've made contact with three others who at least know something. You may find out more and some mysteries may be cleared up.
