Ok, thanks. How do you feel then about the Gilkes? .. Just checking..lol

By the way, when you get the chance go over to the English Bass Thread and tell you about your English Bass visit and trials. Please describe each Bass as best as you can including condition, playability and sound. Price would be ok to mention as well. All nice Chaps there you mentioned..

but let my tell you one thing: one of the best basses i played in england was a guitarshaped lott. absolutly beautiful but not for sale.

Guitar shaped Lott? Where did you see that? How certain are they that it is a Lott or even English? If this is true, it really upsets the apple cart..lol

Yes, please tell me/us in any way you can more about this possible Lott Cornerless Bass. I say possible because I have never even dreamed of this possibility that the English might have made a Guitar shaped DB.
