A beautiful grain like that will be easy to spot. We'll keep an eye out.

 

[Basso Gruvitas]

Yes, I am hoping that will help tip people off. I don't have the serial number but that grain is one-in-a-million.

I wonder if @Gard can help?

....mainly with an approximate date that may narrow down a serial number?

 

[Basso Gruvitas]

I just added the serial number in the OP. to my bass brethren in Austin, TX and surrounding cities, please keep your eyes open!

Wow I can't believe someone stole that bass. I sold a bass to a guy in Texas and he asked if he had a bass stolen in Texas. I said no? Then he sent the pic to me from the pics from my ad when I sold it to you in my studio. I couldn't believe it. Any leads?

Bummer.
GLW that.

I know, Matt! Someone stole "our" bass! I'm sick about it!
I was going over my tax prep last night and I was pulling out receipts related to this bass and I literally choked up!
I have a report - with the serial number - with the police. All pawn shops have to check police records before buying a pawned item. I have also been checking ebay and craiglist for it.

Praying for a miracle!
