I search for one of those for sale in the UK, every single day!

I suppose just to combine a post elsewhere, here's my two.  

 

They're both (apparently) 1986 models, an FBIV and a Cruisebass.  In January, I had the scratchplate done for the Cruisebass. 

 

[EDIT]  One of the pickups was dead on the Cruise and the loom was toast, so it has an EMG Geezer Butler PJ set on it and a John East preamp.  The FBIV is pretty much stock, but I swapped out the chrome bridge and machines to like for like black units.  I also had a flat jackplate made by a local guy (to rid it of the Stratocaster style one that was on it).

 

Lovely, lovely!

There's a B12S on Reverb at the moment.  A bit $$$.

USA... £6k + 25-30%.  Possibly not!

Collection only.  With flights and taxes it'd still end up being $5.5 - $6k... I really need to find one in the UK.

Ack, I was just looking at the pretty pictures, not the specifics!
