|  | Fan of the New Orleans Saints | | | | | Thanks for all the positive feedback on this, guys!
Please continue to send stories via PM.
Also, big thanks to two TBer's who have offered to help. One has offered to help with shipping and the other has offered to do a full set up and help fix it up!

|  | Registered User | | | | | Too cool man...I had a Spector legend five string on here for sale....I had a young man come over, because he wanted to check out my basses...after playing all of them...(I had five at the time)...it was time for him to leave...after seeing the joy in his face, while he was playing, i just told him that he could have the Spector... it was a sacrifice, because I really loved that bass...and it was fairly new (late 2010} but that's what made it so special...there is nothing like being a blessing to someone else....i love it.. |

That case looks like it's got a lot of mojo; however, if you need a new one, I've got a beautiful (Squier?) case I'd throw in. And I'd pay for shipping.

| | | | To the OP ,have you looked local ,say at a store that also has teachers ....you could ask the bass instructor if they know anyone ...
hats of to you sir for this unselfish act of giving ...
I was on the receiving end in my youth ,borrowed a '60s MIA P for two years no questions asked....although this was the early '80s it still was awesome ... And I've never forgotten it or the man who loaned it to me.... |
