I have Pm'd the buyer of my lost Jap P bass on the off chance he still has it and might consider selling it back to me long shot but I thought I might as well ask....

Huge Hands Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Weird, I have met Mr Baxter through a mutual friend of ours - he depped on a gig for me about 5 years ago, although I didn't meet him then. I was later introduced to him at a christening and he seemed like a nice chap. I was told he bought and sold a few basses, but I didn't realise he was into it this much! I might have to wiggle my eyelids at him to see if he will let a pauper and timewaster into his hallowed den, even if just to stand in the corner and breathe in the air.....
