Default Gilkes wear pattern

Ken, what would have caused the wear pattern below the E side bridge foot on your Gilkes? is that someone trying to stick the bow into the F hole, but missing?

Question Wear pattern..

Something... Maybe a Bow in hand doing Pizz with the Tip hitting it there each time it's switched.. Possible? A cheese grater fell on it and scratched it up or some other tool? .. Or missing in a club or gig sticking the Bow in the F-hole by a drunk bass player?

If you buy the Bass, I can deduct something for the scratches if you like...lol

German Bow player, playing pizz and the tip of the bow hits the top of the bass. Now that is called, "tipsy".
