    So I went to a local store, looking for a new speaker cable for my rig, which they didn't have. But I did notice a MIA Jazz on the wall for 475$. So I wonder around town for a bit, get my cables, and go back to the store. I start playing with it, and notice that it has Bartolinis in it... So I ask the guy if he is willing to consider a trade. He says he is, so I run home, grab all the crap that was on the post I had about the garage sale, and head back... so that stuff, a little bit of cash, and I have the bass... I am still trying to get used to it, but the first reaction is how solid it feels... I have to get the electronics looked over, but everything else is perfect... In my mind, a great deal and I already love it!

    Woohoo! congrats on the find, sounds like a deal indeed? Do you know the year on it?

    Oh, and in your haste, you forgot to mention the color and such :p

    Oh, and any pics? You simply *cannot* tell us you got a new bass and not have pics of it, sheesh! :D

    Congrats!!!! Great price also!!!!! I'd personally rut a black or tortouise shell pickguard on it.

    Good luck.

    Hey PM, what store was this? I haven't been to very many cool guitar stores in the KC area.

    Unfourtanetly the Kansas City area is devoid of any good bass deals (of course with my EXTREMELY tight budget, anything over $300 is a bad deal anymore) But I do like going down to Musicians Friend and check out what they have, some good deals, some just a few dollars off the retail price. Pawn Shops in the Northland have almost nothing in terms of good bass gear, (except for the Warwick Dolphin, but I don't like it, and way too much $$$) Anyway, there's my two cents of our hometown.
