The other funny thing is the Legends I've encountered all have the double screws just like the USA's. | Lol YES! EXACTLY! I'm happy to hear there's atleast 2 of us that think about these simple feats of engineering!

Does it say how much it cost?

I'd love to personally myself refinish a CRFM in that stain color with either a matte or oil finish! That's the exact color that has been stuck in my mind ever since it came out as an example. Sam, do you know what color your daughter used for this?

I think their name is Spector or something like that, LOL. All kidding aside, the bass was actually shipped back to the Spector factory and the inlay was done there which makes me like it even more since I know it was done by them on their own bass.
The price is on the receipt but you are probably better off contacting a dealer or PJ since this was done like 10 years ago and I am sure the pricing is different now. I don't want to say what it was and then get a nasty-gram from PJ wondering why I am giving pricing that is really old
