Don't know about Djibouti, but for Mali desert rock, it's a P-bass played upside down:
OP, don't you forget to keep us updated on the progress of the refin!!!! We want to see it!
Glad this all worked out. If I was the OP, I'd be tempted to buy a champange replacement body off Stratosphere for $400, list the damaged blue one on eBay and pocket the difference for the hassle.
Update!
Well, I don't really have an update. I'm just waiting on my bass to be finished. However, I am a little afraid that I made a mistake. I took it to a local guy here in Houston who everyone says does great work. As I started reading all his reviews they all had the same main complaint. He takes a very long time on his work. They all praised his work but they all said it took longer than quoted. I'm talking months and some people stated they waited over a year. He is a one man shop and he runs it out of his home. I was quoted to be completed by this week. I've asked for progress reports but he only responds with "not finished yet". I'm giving him a month past his quoted completion date then I'm going to just go pick it up no matter it he finished it or not.
