Yummy!!

I wish I could afford this. It's only five miles away, might have to go take a look.

Sigh. Sold my '64 Precision for $675, back in the early '80's. I more than doubled my original investment, and thought I was a financial genius...

A friend of mine sold a white 1961 Les Paul (SG Style) in the early 80s for $400. Its worth about $7,000 today.

I try not to think about the basses I sold years ago.

I'd love to own one, but the logistics of it make it not happen.

My biggest hurdle is that to me, EVERY bass is a player. If I've gotta just look at it because its too old or too fragile, it's not for me.

I still shudder when I think of the lawsuit era Ibanez guitar that I traded for my first bass (a plywood junker).
