So, a mooch about on Gumtree yesters showed up a Cruiser by Crafter P-Bass-a-like... 10 miles and 30 mins away.
Picked it up this morning, Body is P-ish, but with more pointy horns and a bit of a Jazz bulge on the lower flank...
Swapped the shiny chrome knobs for some black Strat Hats, to fit in a bit with the pickup covers... (Eldest black guitar now wearing the shiny knobs, which also looks better for it...)
Strings looked and felt new-ish.
Strings off, fretboard masked up,
