Yes, I certainly want to trade my bass for the contents of his garage. LOL.

This is my favorite part: "this bass is going to have to be able too withstand daily practice and playing and stand out as a looker when i open the ohsc with logo on it when playing out." Poser, much?

"willing to negotiate all or part of my collection for your very nice in great condition made in the usa bass with ohsc!"

I'll trade you my Fodera for 6 coasters and a 21-year old duffel bag.
Deal?


(not that I really own a Fodera... )

I'm still laughing at how he cannot be bothered to come and pick up your Zon bass. I mean, he is a man of many items I guess. He has no time for traveling. He is doing YOU a favour by taking your mint USA made bass.

In other words, "come to my crib, I'll knock you out (or worse), take your bass and send you away with nothing". Would also explain why he doesn't want to transport any of this stuff... if it's hot, it could be traced.
