TBF your post made me smile,:) nothing about basses, just joy of seeing your partner happy which is the most important thing in the World.
Me, I know nothing about Michigan, nothing about boats, but I do know that where ever we are on this earth and what ever our identities, loving partners come first. I'll do anything for my partner because she does everything for me, and always has.
+1 mate, take care of her. :thumbsup:

Well said. My wife and our kids were always my first priority. I was able to gig when the kids were small but very scaled down in the number of gigs to accommodate all the family things.

Love your spouse.

It's really just to trial basses I'm interested in. I NEVER buy anything expensive. The basses pictured cost under $399. But most are well below $899. I made some great profit on basses that sellers weren't aware of their value. But for the most part its a break even model, or lose very little with the rationale that its considered a rental. But mostly, I mod them to my preference, and see if I want to keep them. If not, theyre sold right away.

Great feedback thanks! When I sell anything online, I of course get low ballers. I know of a couple of people that make a living buying and selling other things that way. I've wondered if that's worked very well for people?

I was not going to, but I folded like a house of cards. As this model is being phased out, they are no longer listed on the Fender site in 3-color Sunburst.

The extended payments with no interest is what finally broke my resolve.

The bass arrived today with a damaged finish and a neck that was hosed. So, back it went. Better for me in the long run as I probably didn't need the payments all things considered.

Instead, I traded away a Squier Tele for this:

So, it turned out to be a great day after all and I didn't need to spend a dime!

Wow! Pretty. Several years ago I had the Sterling sister of yours! All I have left are a few photos. Here's one.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming! :laugh:
