Lost 64 Precision Bass L36067....

Bizarre post and a shot in the dark. 
 

my old teacher Colin Bilham has just died (age 90).  First bass guitar chair in the west end and one of original Superstar and Joseph bands I believe. 
 

he *should* have sold his ‘64 precision to me a few years back (2005ish) but was arm twisted (I think) to flog it for (gulp) £750 by (I can only assume) some with minimal

scruples. (Supposition there!)

I was gutted. More so to discover that it then got sold on at auction in 2015 by Tennants in the UK at a price I could still have managed (£2.5k). 
the auctioneers tell me it left the UK but can’t say where. 
 

Colin bought it from the bass player in the Hollies...

 

anyway, would LOVE to track it down (and ideally buy it back for posterity) - I’m gutted he’s gone (knew him for almost 40 years).

 

anyone come across it (info here including serial):

...any good for metal??

There were two steel beams! Previous owners hadn’t done it properly and the engineer and builders kept finding more and more problems. Think I slimmed the collection down to a single bass at that point.
