RAVE EUB - PALATINO EUB TAILPIECE ????

[uprightman]

There is a EUB on E-Bay right now called a RAVE by the seller. It looks almost exactly like a Palatino except for the tailpiece. This tailpiece appears to be a real wooden one. Anybody know anything about this?

This could be a replacement, either done by the retailer or by a previous owner. The Palatino basses are made by the Straus company in Korea and are sold under a number of names: Straus, Palatino, Collins, Riley, Rave, Antonius etcetera.

Upon further scrutinizing: the tailpiece on the Rave EUB looks very much like the one found on the Goldtone Club EUB:
