NBD (well, almost)

[jbossolo]

Just did a "handshake deal" (this is Texas after all) on a 1966 Fender P in Fiesta Red, and a 1963 Fender Jazz in Burgundy Mist. Excuse the poor phone pics, I just wanted to share! I'll take some better ones next week, once I get my dirty, unworthy paws on these beauties!

Wow! Too cool. A couple of rare ones there! Congrats!

Love the color on the p bass. Congrats !

Killer!

Score of a lifetime!

Sorry about the complete draining of your savings account, though.

 

[jbossolo]

Thx for all the kind words. Please don't tell the wifey!

Thx for all the kind words. Please don't tell the wifey!

I'll save my congrats until you have them in your possession. Pretty cool pair of basses though. Maybe it's worth one of them to keep your secret.

Diggin' the Misty Jazz...

 

[jbossolo]

It's my first jazz too! I think I did well. ; )

 

[jbossolo]

The deal is done. I traded a piece of paper for two pieces of musical history. I think I did well. Will post pics later. I'll take both of them to music class later tonight. My teacher will probably crap his pants.

Awesome basses. Love the burgundy mist jazz (one of my favorite Fender colors ever) but they are both incredible.

Nice score!

OK, some pics:

Those wonderful "clay dots"!:

 

[Immigrant]

WOW! Very nice!

I scrolled directly to the pics so I don't know if your wife is aiming a crossbow at your skull yet.

Congrats!

Nice! A scrap of paper, you say?

 

[jbossolo]

What she doesn't know won't hurt her! ; )

As to the paper remark, it was one with a fair number of "zeroes" in it, issued by my bank. Nevertheless it's still a piece of paper after all is said and done. I think I got the better end of the deal.

Musical history indeed! Those are awesome.

Love the Jazz bass.

Holy crap! Can we see the back of the neck on that Burg Mist? Looks like some flame action.

 

[Scott McC]

That is probably the most amazing NBD ever. At the very least a top 5 best NBD ever. Wow.

 

[Espresto]

Definitely an NBD for the ages. Congratulations!
