(and indeed some sort of proto?) The inlay work should trigger some memories with the seniors at the mothership? sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 4273 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Monday, June 15, 2015 - 7:34 pm:    I just Love it ! edwardofhuncote Advanced Member Username: edwardofhuncote Post Number: 399 Registered: 6-2014 Posted on Monday, June 15, 2015 - 7:45 pm:    I've got a gig down that way in a few weeks... I'd like to see that one in person. Love that body pattern. Tailpiece looks like the one on the Dickey Betts guitar. gtrguy Senior Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 887 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Monday, June 15, 2015 - 8:34 pm:    I like the arm relief cut. That must have been one fine guitar when it was made. elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 1627 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, June 15, 2015 - 11:10 pm:    I like the relief cut too. Carlos' #28 has a similar thing going on. I can't say how amazed I am at the stellar designs coming out so early. I hope you get a chance to play it Edward. mtjam Advanced Member Username: mtjam Post Number: 320 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 - 2:19 am:    I hope someone gets to try that one out. Very unique! I hope Mica does chime in on this one. dela217 Senior Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 1159 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 - 2:50 am:    Based on the body shape and the hole configuration, I would say that bass was made in 1974. I see a lot of BecVar influence in that one. jalevinemd Senior Member Username: jalevinemd Post Number: 1014 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 - 6:12 am:    Pretty sure the owner posted this on the Club some time ago inquiring about it. Bill would probably remember better than me. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 6098 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 - 6:14 am:    Sweet looking guitar. The upper horn seems to have some Wolf DNA. (Jerry's guitar, not our own Sonicus!) Definitely later than '69-70. Too bad the electronics are gone. Without them, the price is high, IMHO.

And very "wolfy".
