I have no relation to this person but was just posted on my Facebook page so the owner is apparently a friend of a friend and TB seems like a good place to spread the word...stealing a 60's Pbass is heinous.

Did you buy my 1960's Fender P-Bass? (Austin)
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
This Monday, my stolen family heirloom Creme 60's Fender Precision Bass was sold. It had been stolen from my home sometime in December, along with several other things, while we were having some construction work done.
As I was finally unpacking our house after the work was completed last week, I discovered that the P-Bass (as well as my dad's 63 Martin D-18) were gone. I immediately reported the theft to APD on Thursday, Jan 7. This Thursday, I got a call from my detective, who had run the serial number for the guitar, and found that the pawn shop had received both the guitar and bass together. This morning, she reported that the pawn shop had sold the bass for cash on Monday, but thank God, retrieved the guitar, and has a lead on the thief.
This bass is very valuable to me and my family - having been purchased by my grandfather (who was originally in a family band with his 9 Swedish brothers, playing Vaudeville and for The King of Sweden), passed down to my dad (who just last year lost his battle with brain cancer), and then to me.
Because the bass was a family heirloom, not to mention super valuable, it never left my house, except to bring to the studio. I don't have any photos of it, but it looks like the one on this website, 1968 Fender Oly White P-Bass The only difference is that mine was in near mint condition, and in a black case with orange interior.
If you have any knowledge of where my grandfather's bass might be, or are the now owner of it, please call me. I am an Austin musician, I play in 3 bands in town - if you are a musician yourself, you'll understand how devastating this loss is to me. I am willing to pay twice what you did. Please just help me find it.
Thanks for sharing, friends.
