Just got a T-40!

Hey all i just put my new T-40 down. I just picked it up from a local vintage guitar dealer. It is a 79. I paid $275 for the bass and the hard case. Everything is in working order, all the switches and knobs work, no body damage, and straight straight neck. I loved it in the store and had to have it so my wife took me back and bought it for me today!!!. I brought it home and put on some DR black beauties. I'm in love. It sounds and plays great. Here are some pics of the new family.
(The case in the pic is the one i got with the bass.)

Thanks guys.Ya I think the going prices on ebay was an indication to jump on this deal. I'm loving it. I also got my midi to usb today so im running my T40 through my GT-6B and controling it through my computer. The phase switch is amazing with distortion. You flip that switch and its just metal! Too bad sunday morning praise and worship doesn't include the metal.I just can't belive a bass older than me is in such good shape. (I was born in 80)
