Yes... sorry, those are screen shots from the auction site... no image copying allowed.

Love the headstock :)

A bit like the figurehead on a sailing ship but without the bosoms.

If it doesn't work out, I can always convert it into a rowing boat. :)

I really like that alot. The head is well carved. Has an Enigmatic quality :) Nice colour to. Good buy there. I'd be intrigued about its history with that sort of feature on it.

Ah bit of research... here's the chap who made it, Steve Eggleton:

The headstock looks very similar to Paul Chambers bass - welcome to BC !!

Lovely anecdote. Can you see the bead glinting on the headstock in that photo? That bead came off one of Annie Chambers's, Paul's wife's, dresses.

[quote name='aonindy' timestamp='1376471779' post='2174263'] Really good score! ... matter of interest, what was the auction site? [/quote]

It was on the [url="http://tennants.co.uk"]tennants.co.uk[/url] auction site.

Doing further research it looks like it might have appeared in a [url="http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20019/lot/186/"]Bonham's auction[/url] in October of 2012. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing really. :unsure:
