Delberthot Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Looks almost brand new - I wonder what the 4 offers were? Wouldn't catch me with a gold sparkly bass. You'd have to be a show-off to own one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesfinn Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 it is possibly the most beautiful bass i have ever seen, although it is the biggest price tag ive ever seen too! credit crunch must really be hitting the guy hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thing is, if in a fit of madness you did buy it, and found it actually plays/sounds worse than your 2001 USA Jazz would you keep it or sell it straight on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
