I am new to this forum but can provide references from AGF, gearpage, mandolincafe, and collingsforum. I have this awsome bass for sale for 400 plus shipping or trade for a good acoustic guitar or mandolin, just let me know what you have. The Bass is in excellent condition and has only one ding on the bottom right if your looking at it. I can be reached at
jasonatthebull@gmail.com This is the blueburst version and it looks awsome, comes with G&L Gigbag. Here is a link to the stock photo.
