Maybe someone offered a couple of litres of Dole Pineapple Whip.
I was looking at the bridge (here or on FB) the other day thinking it must not need it or you would have installed one.
FYI, this 2000, Natural finish T-Bird is still hanging around....

I’d be tempted to leave the outside as is, but it probably smells too much like smoke.
Take the "savings" vs a new T-Bird and add this as well:

Pictures when it arrives, please.
The strips on the neck look much thicker than on my 2011

The picture makes it look red. If there wasn't an even better color on the way soon, it would be sorely tempting.
You know that he will bargain down from there. Why give away a perfectly good half sammich.

Awhile back I did a recording of like 8 of my basses and thought the ‘71 EB3L sounded terrific, but knew it wouldn’t have enough low end for live use...took it to a rehearsal tonight to try anyway
I gotta say, the way it is now, this bass kinda sucks. Plays great, but sounds terrible in pretty much every way. Some of it (weak E and G string) could be a simple setup issue. Also the switch is dirty, so maybe a tech visit could help, but I doubt it would help enough. Worst sustain of any bass I own and I don’t really care about tons of sustain, but this one dies out unusually fast. At a bit of a loss with this one, honestly. I brought a back up bass, just in case
Now we’re talking! With Mike Lynch’s band we prefer a grindier bass sound, but even with Cobalt flats, this was a huge step up from the EB3L in every possible way. You guys probably don’t know this, but a good T Bird is tough to beat

Seems like a decent price? Way outta my league, but they were 2500 new.

Seems like a ‘fair’ price, but I’d be way more interested in a Reeves 400. But to be honest, for what I like to hear, the Reeves just ain’t worth the asking price to me. I’d still love to try a 400 though

Your Bird through a 400. Like bending and twisting time is how i'd hear it.
He has priced the bass so you can factor in the cost of a new jack. Even if you took it to a pro to replace the jack, this is still a great deal!!
I think the selling price was a gallon of apple juice and 5kg of cigs.

Yikes. Where is that?

I really wanted to, but we went over budget on our trip to Ireland...
