It is a very nice piece. The seller came by my office with the bass last week, and it was gorgeous. Good luck to the winning bidder. jon_jackson Member Username: jon_jackson Post Number: 57 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 4:30 pm:    I was fortunate enough to be the successful bidder on this bass and am very much looking forward to her arrival. -Jon echo008 Senior Member Username: echo008 Post Number: 420 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 5:59 pm:    Wow! Congrats Jon. I must have looked at that listing about a dozen times trying to think of a way to make it happen. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 4712 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 6:28 pm:    Jon: I know this bass well as the original owner, the Flaxman, (well known among the long time members of the club), is a buddy. It is truly a remarkable instrument that will blow you away. Congrats and enjoy.

It has one of the more unique pieces of Coco Bolo I've ever seen. tubeperson Intermediate Member Username: tubeperson Post Number: 138 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Thursday, January 13, 2011 - 8:43 am:    Jon, when you see this bass, you will forget any loved ones for a while. The quilt is spectacular, the knobs are terrific, and the back is the most seductive bookmatched back of Coco Bolo I have ever seen. I tried to bid against you, and perhaps dorve up the price, but you will feel it is worth it. I did. Just remember at some time you must come back down to earth and greet your human and pet loved ones as well. Congratulations and play it well and often! jon_jackson Member Username: jon_jackson Post Number: 59 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Thursday, January 13, 2011 - 4:12 pm:    Jeff shipped her today, after digging out of 2 feet of snow! I've been an admirer of Scarlet since the FTC. Now, if UPS can just not run over the box...No extra charge for the service. -Jon glocke Senior Member Username: glocke Post Number: 811 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Friday, January 14, 2011 - 2:58 am:    Having seen Scarlet at the NJ Alembic gathering, I can say I am envious even though Im not a 5 string player...its a beautiful instrument. Its unfortunate jeff had to part with it, hope he is doing ok! pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 662 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Friday, January 14, 2011 - 12:21 pm:    Congrats Jon!!!! I played Scarlet for a few minutes at the NJ Gathering, and I think it's an amazing bass.... davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10041 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 16, 2011 - 7:17 pm:    Congrats Jon!! jon_jackson Member Username: jon_jackson Post Number: 62 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Sunday, January 16, 2011 - 7:21 pm:    How long can tracking show "in transit"?
