anyway, hope never dies i guess!

More basses, even real ones that are old are more often sold as a more famous maker than the bass actually is. Then there are the dealers, some of them the same on occasion, that just come up with never before seen basses from famous makers as well. Like you said, as if hidden away in time till now.

If you believe that, I have a winning Lottery ticket I will sell you for half price.
