I had a Pinarello years ago, stupidly gave it to an ex-girlfriend when we broke up.
With all due respect, are you nuts?
The only reasons I’m not riding my (cheap, used) Pinarellos are that (a) it’s too small, (b) I needed wider tires than it can use, and (c) the Campy derailleurs are shot. It’s still my backup bike.
 
I have found that for some reason many long time rhythm section jazz players usually have a hard time adapting to rock n roll, it's such a completely different style of music, I think probably most of the reason though is a lot of them just don't like it and/or listen to it but the feel is totally different.
I grew up listening to jazz, and I have a default swing groove that leaks out at times.

Yes, I was, it wasn't a high end, I forgot the model, and had Shimano stuff on it but it was still a nice bike

perhaps someone here might be able to recommend a suitable gig bag for long neck bass.
UPDATE: As cool as the GruvGear GigBlade3 case is, it won't fit a Mike Lull T5, or an Epiphone T-Bird Pro V.

I bought directly from the GruvGear website. At least I got a 20% discount, so my all-in purchase was $287 shipped for a case that won't do what I hoped it would do. I was going to return it, but with shipping on me and a 20% restocking fee I'm paying almost $100 to return a $300 case. After some second thoughts, I decided I should probably keep it because it looks well made and will work fine with the FSO I have in the collection.

What really frosts me though... the Epiphone T-Bird Pro V came in a CrossRock gig bag. I tried the Mike Lull in that bag before I ordered the GigBlade, and it didn't fit. However yesterday I tried the Mike Lull in the CrossRock bag again, and it now it fits. I have no words for the aggravation of needless money I spent, nor how it wasn't fitting two weeks ago but it fits now. Arrgghhh!
