There is no rush. If I get the Franklin, it will be another long layaway. I have three basses that actually worth anything. I have three basses that are worth real money, and they are not for sale. The others are nice, but not worth shipping anywhere.
Were you playing this at a Guitar Center? I think I might have solved that dilemma for you as a just had the last LP Blue TF in Guitar Center inventory shipped in for me. I'm wondering if I have that exact bass in my hands right now.
