I remember meeting a lot of people that day. It's a beautiful bass and I'm very interested in how it sounds. Alas, I'm waiting on my brown bass, so even if I wanted to buy it, I couldn't right now. ! tubeperson Advanced Member Username: tubeperson Post Number: 301 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Friday, June 29, 2012 - 7:23 pm:    A great Top, and the fine "piping" veneers really emphasize the top! WOW! room037 Senior Member Username: room037 Post Number: 455 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Friday, June 29, 2012 - 9:21 pm:    Very interested bass ! 1: I had not seen "Bookmatch to Center" at that time (arround 80'). 2: The horns and cutaway are not typical SSB, just like old small body (arround the serial No 25 to 40's). 3: The body edge radius is square like than others, just like as my Hyak. 4: 3 layered accent laminate is very rare at that time. How about the serial number ? Maybe it is on the fingerboard end. Of course the bass is very nice one. I think it is one of custom grade instruments.

Michael longhorncat Senior Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 446 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2012 - 7:58 am:    I bought it - for a lot more than he was originally asking. It only seemed fair to pay closer to market price. dela217 Senior Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 1114 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2012 - 9:29 am:    Longhorncat - That's good news! I too was going to offer more than what he was asking. But I didn't want to step on any toes here. If you decide you don't like it, we can work something out. Oh, and don't move the strap button! Michael sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2534 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2012 - 9:59 am:    Congratulations Bill ! The seller also posted it locally in my neck of the woods on Craigslist; http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/msg/3109681906.html I was amazed when I saw it and was extremely tempted to drive a just a few miles to buy it. But I was also resisting because I am waiting for my lined fretless Series I/II to show up for grabs. Thanks for buying it. It looks like an awesome Bass Wolf davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10773 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2012 - 10:32 am:    Congrats! Beautiful bass! longhorncat Senior Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 447 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2012 - 10:44 am:    Thank you. I've had this empty feeling since I sold my Distillate last December. I did a little dance when we finalized the deal on this bass. jon_jackson Intermediate Member Username: jon_jackson Post Number: 138 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2012 - 1:21 pm:    "It only seemed fair to pay closer to market price." That's why I like being a member of this club. Congratulations Bill. I, like apparently many others here, was tempted by this one.
