Series bass with cocobolo top and back preferred. Ideal price range is under $3000, but for the right bass no price is too steep. I'd just love to see what's out there! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6534 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 08, 2008 - 6:38 pm:    Hi Robin, welcome to the board! It seems highly unlikely that you would find a five string Series bass with Coco Bolo top and back for less than $3,000. But then you did go on to say that "for the right bass no price is too steep"! robinc New Username: robinc Post Number: 2 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Thursday, May 08, 2008 - 9:51 pm:    yeah... I know I am hoping for a one in a billion chance here, but hey, it never hurts to try! Its nice to be part of the fam, though. Hopefully I will be able to afford one of my very own. Until then, wishing and waiting... -Robin robinc New Username: robinc Post Number: 3 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Thursday, May 08, 2008 - 9:55 pm:    Thanks Dave. Yeah, I know I'm hoping for a one in a billion chance here, but hey, it never hurts to ask, right? Hopefully I will be able to afford one of these beauties someday soon. Until then, wishing, waiting, and watching... -Robin speicky Advanced Member Username: speicky Post Number: 283 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, May 09, 2008 - 8:18 am:    ha... the good old "file locking error" trick again welcome to the board, Robin !

Yup, I guess this is what I get for being impatient for my post to load =P On a totally unrelated note, anyone know when the custom quote generator will be up and running? I'd love to play around with that thing. -Robin flaxattack Senior Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 1955 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Friday, May 09, 2008 - 12:58 pm:    hey robin go to the cotm archives and look at direwolf then get back to me if your seriously looking davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6546 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, May 09, 2008 - 4:31 pm:    The quote generator should be back up fairly soon. robinc New Username: robinc Post Number: 6 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Saturday, May 10, 2008 - 4:01 pm:    email sent, Jeff
