Get a receipt showing that you've sold all of your gear to your best friend. Then the wife can't take it in the divorce. Tell the lawyer you're just storing it for the friend. Worked for me.
Received this Lindell bass as a gift in 1981. It was old then. Never used it much because I became a guitarist. I kept the bass and used it for recording projects in the 90's. It's still in perfect shape as it was when I receieved it. Wonder what it's worth??
I became a guitarist, but when I was 14 years old, back in 1981, I received this old Lindell bass. It's still in great shape as I've always taken care of it.
