Who owns that custom Series II six-string featured in the Alembic Catalog of the late 1990's?

That is the most beautiful body I have seen (next to Halle Barry's)

All I can tell you about the owner of that bass is that he was from California. Inspired by the JB shape was this fine player, Jan-Olaf Strandberg (http://www.janolofstrandberg.com/tools.htm)

Jan's a superb player and a really nice guy to chat to. He and trip Walmsley spoke to myself, Mike Pisanek and Iain Petch pretty much exclusively for most of Bass Day UK 2005. Here's a pic of Jan in action with that bass..
