I am currently sitting in a state of shock just outside of York Pennsylvania with a one of a kind bass I never knew existed. I knew 6 string guitar versions did, but not a Korina Flying V Bass, and certainly not this ONE of ONE basses like it in the world.

To think I could one day stumble across a guitar or bass for that matter, that is signed by none other than one of my top 2 guitar idols, AND his band mates AND a few mates who have passed away, blows my freaking mind so much, I really can't drive yet without composing myself.

So the good news and identity of my new bass is it is signed by Michael Schenker, Hermann Rarebill, and members of Temple of Doom and Scorpions.

Pics and sound impressions once I arrive home and change my shorts.

Elliott Rubinson Bass 2.jpg one fella who signed my bass was Elliot Rubinson,

Schenker, and here is the bass itself. Adrian ought to know who Elliot was.

Oh, and the other incredible thing, the seller is actually a bass player in a band he started in the 70's but he is a lefty and this bass is a righty. Oh and he also happens to be a roadie for Michael. How freaking cool is that? I had to keep the story of my finding this bass a secret and refrained from posting, BECAUSE I didn't want it to turn into a hoax or to jinx myself. But the seller assured me he had it earmarked for me. Man what a hard 1+ month's wait since finding him.

Mr ferengi.

Bdon, thanks bro. Man the seller is a super nice guy, but He got Covld then had to move his mother in law into his home and handle all her belongings etc. So to get an actual meet date for today was music to my ears. Before I found the bass,. It had been for sale for 19 weeks already. Now it hit 23-25+ weeks n woohooooo.

Here is what the seller texted me as I told him I wanted it and could he pull the ad, Jan 15.

"I promise I won’t sell to anyone else. Thanks"
TODAY that PROMISE came true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
