Strange little Precision mystery

[misrule]

Hiya --

I spent a day in Felixstowe last weekend. There's a tiny music shop there in a shopping centre next to a Co-op -- so I had a quick look.

Among the usual run-of-the-mill stock, they had a lovely white 1960s pre-CBS Precision.

It wasn't priced so I asked about it. Apparently, its ownership is disputed -- the bloke who sold it to them is now in jail for unrelated offences.

Shortly after they got it, a customer said he recognised the bass as one stolen from him 15 years ago.

It was originally white, the bloke who stole it painted it red and it has now either been refinished or returned to its original white.

It's a beauty -- and it's good to hear somebody may be getting their stolen bass back after 15 years.

Anybody here who's local may want to keep an eye out in case it goes back on sale.

Cheers

Mark
