Perhaps the builder decided to do without the linings on Carl's and not mine or the other.

Michael, the bass from Chicago is no longer listed. I thought your bass was that same bass.

Michael Hartery sent the link to the Chicago bass after seeing mine in person. So, that one is sold or off the market but there are three or maybe even more. Maybe we can meet sometime for a group photo.
