Now to sell something.... The '06 maybe--after I really love playing it... White VP? Decisions. The '06 would come close to paying for the NR.

We've all done this sort of thing - predictable results. Stay strong!

Just saw two other offers so I went back and just paid the full price. Doubt I'll regret it. If I do it certainly won't be the first time.

You won't, congratulations!

Every bass I own cost about $500.00 (or less ) and they all look the same to her, as long as I can sneak it in the house I'm home free.

I just told mine I bought “parts”…

I’ll yank the frets for you

DO NOT GO NEAR THAT THUNDERBIRD.

There will be a lot of opportunities to get another VP. But that ‘06 is part of you now. Should be an easy decision.

 

[Klondike]

Nah. Gotta go 'regimental'.

being mostly scott, I would as well.

I would still have the burst VP. I wouldn't make much on the white one and Miles has first dibs on it. I thought about listing my '71 Jazz. It's near mint and a custom color (black). First year for blocks I believe. I'm the third owner. A young guy ordered it from Fender when working at a music store and never really used it. Finally was talked into selling it in 1980 to a guy who never gigged it, just jammed occasionally with friends.

First year for blocks was 1966.........sorry........, the reason I know that is because I had a '66 J neck on a P bass.. Looks like it's in great shape.

Thanks, good to know. Makes sense.

Wow, that even has the original neck strap. I wouldn't sell that.

that should sell for enough to pay off the NR, and have a chunk left over… maybe not enough to get a second NR, but a chunk…

Those are going for a lot of money now.

Is that a new NR? You corrected the neck pickup placement?

 

[RedVee]

My mate was born in Madrid and lived there until he was 7 or 8. He draws a line between Spanish and “South American”

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I remember this! Hadn't seen the video before. Didn't know the back story, either (Wikipedia is handy that way). very cool. Thanks, Geoff!

Probably like the Brits draw a line between us and them. British people always sound intelligent .

Does that make a big difference?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I love Grand Funk, love that album but THAT song is so long and repetitive and was played so often on the radio back in the day I'M STILL SICK OF IT .

SLAPTTM!

(Sounds like a personal problem to me!)

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I’m not. It’s fun to play.

Yep! Play, sing, listen to, all of it. Especially play. Happy heart song.
