Tonight, it was a Peavey Milestone 4. The kick and piano stepped all over the bass. 
Sorry for the delay. Had a workday to finish up, just now getting "lunch."
So, busy with that, and....Oh yeah, and unpacking what appears to be a almost-never-played, never even been set up, back-cover-still-has-the plastic, 98% flawless 2018 model BAT4H18LVSBC1 THUNDERFRIKKENBIRD from its original case... wearing what look to be the original strings...
And which had the original docs tucked in said case, including the signed inspection card showing a 2/8/18 birthdate.
I am essentially over the moon just now.
Pics incoming. Once I can put it down.

The earlier pics you posted looked great. Sounds like you got a great one!To quote Maynard G. Krebs: "WORK!?"
You will no doubt like the low action (if that is your preference) that the Babicz can deliver.
A picture I had taken a few years ago that fell through the cracks somehow. Taken from the dock just behind the boat- must’ve been heading and got inspired to rake it-
I hope you enjoy it!

I love gold on white!!
Before the big reveal... tons of signs this was somebody's "buy and hold for appreciation" bass... but the biggest clue...
Cleaned and oiled the entire (bone dry) fretboard with this one Q-tip.
No fretwear, no dirt, no scratches, frets were patina'ed even on top.

Glad you didn't!
TY, but that's an old pic from 2021. Actually, both will be for sale when I figure out what to ask for them. I'm kinda outta the biz.
