Followed a link on MusoFinder to a rather rare and equally delicious factory Gold Sparkle 64 Jazz. Admittedly, a marmite bass, you'll either love it or hate it...

That's just crazy
[url="http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/pablovibe/"]This[/url] guy makes custom ones. I bought a clear one off him. Very high quality.... and not £170 a pop.
