Nah, I distinctly remember the obelisk being black with a white pickguard.
I think I'm sophisticated
'Cause I'm living my life like a good homosapien
But all around me, everybody's multiplying
And they're walking round like flies man
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages
In the zoo man
Because compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an Apeman
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an Apeman
I'm an Apeman, I'm an Ape Apeman
No, I'm an Apeman
Well, I'm a King Kong man, I'm a Voo-Doo man
No, I'm an Apeman
'Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
I am an Apeman
I'm an Apeman, I'm an Ape Apeman
No, I'm an Apeman
Well, I'm a King Kong man, I'm a Voo-Doo man
No, I'm an Apeman
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an Apeman
Please, be more accurate with your statements.
It will remain, passed down generation to generation, viewed only via photograph by each subsequent inheritor until the sun expands to a red giant and turns it to ash.
In about 5 to 6 billion years, the Sun will have depleted the hydrogen fuel in its core and will begin to expand. At its largest, its surface will approximately reach the current orbit of the Earth. It will then lose its atmosphere completely; its outer layers forming a planetary nebula and the core a white dwarf. The evolution of the Sun into and through the red-giant phase has been extensively modelled, but it remains unclear whether the Earth will be engulfed by the Sun or will continue in orbit. The uncertainty arises in part because as the Sun burns hydrogen, it loses mass causing the Earth (and all planets) to orbit farther away. There are also significant uncertainties in calculating the orbits of the planets over the next 5 – 6.5 billion years, so the fate of the Earth is not well understood. At its brightest, the red-giant Sun will be several thousand times more luminous than today but its surface will be at about half the temperature.
Perhaps we should concentrate on the greater threat of evolution producing giant sentient cockroaches who only want to tap on their basses.
So this is an Amber Alert?
Will keep an eye out.
"Keep an eye out" in not nearly proactive enough of a stance considering the urgency.
I'm gonna go drive around and look for this bass, which has had ample time to find its way to the west coast.
Hopefully some other TBers can cover the eastern seaboard. Let's do this.
I'll cover Canada!

I had a 79 P bass that I regrettably sold. A few years later I was looking for P bass parts on Ebay and the bass was listed there. I contacted that seller and spoke with him over the phone and he wanted a lot of money for it; more than I paid, it wasn't all original..
Oh well you live and learn.

hey it can happen
I sold a '76 P factory fretless and a '77 jazz maple w/blocks (MM style) in about 1990 - had to have a Smith (stupido)
15+ years later, there's the P on EvilBay about 200 miles away - so, I grabbed it for $700
still wondering where the J is??

I'd like to get back my 1998 CIJ P-Bass - the simple things in life are often the best.
You're right, I shouldn't poke fun. It just sounded funny that we would come across it, with such little info. But you're right, It could turn up.
the interwebs are particularly good for finding needles in haystacks
I wasn't even looking for my P - just browsing eBay for basses (as one does) and I only noticed a nick on the neck I had put there many years past right at the 9th fret and the cigarette burns in the headstock - serious Mojo
the giveaway was that it was in the small home town of the guy I had sold it to but across the state

And owned by one of those strange bass players who buys one bass and never thinks about buying another.
There are no "normal" bass players. (Or anyone else, for that matter - "normal" is a myth! We all crazy! Don't trust anyone who pretends they ain't!)
