Half the price of the infamous John Judge bass, and better looking IMHO. And it comes with an SF-2 and free shipping! Now if only I won the lottery, played bass, and had the same back I had when I was 20 .... Bill, tgo |

"O, that the opening bid were the Buy It Now price!" If you wait 4 days and 20 hours to place your bid, it just might be the BIN price. Bill in Austin

Bill, you should know why this is just half the price of Peggy: this lady has only ONE pistol grip shaped horn. And little less strings... on the other hand: I love those bird tail pieces. I didn't make the jackpot yesterday, so I guess I have to pass on this acquisition ;-) Christian (the faker) |

Those are cute little tailpieces. Were those common at some point, or custom? I don't recall seeing similar ones. Rick |

I like the tailpieces too. I've seen a few like this, but I don't think it was ever common. |

I've played this beastie, a few years ago now. It's interesting, but be warned -- you'll just about need to be a gorilla to hit the low notes on the fretless neck. I'm near six feet, and I couldn't hit the notes below the G on the E string or the B-flat on the A string. It's also interesting in that there is a nice radius on the fretless fingerboard, but the baritone fingerboard is flat. Dave O'H |

It was me! It just got delivered today, I've only been able to play it for 5-10 minutes. So far so good - I'll make a more complete report in the showcase when I get more of a chance to play it. |
