There's a great big gaping hole in my collection for one of these, but not gonna fill it this year. For now I'll have to make do with the split MFD in my Squier :P

Looks the SB-1 I just got - love it! Kinda big chunk out of the finish - I guess that gives it the mojo :)

Yeah, it's weird. He calls it "wear," but it looks more like someone whittled the poly away with a blade. Meth is a hell of a drug. Still, it probably wouldn't put me off buying it if it were priced appropriately.

Yes I agree. This price is bit high. I have bought used late model G&Ls for more like $700-$750 range. The early 80s ones a little higher.

...okay, she's feeding the baby.

That the beaver work on the body just might cause the price to drop to a number I can justify :D

It's a shame there is such a huge chunk out of the finish, because that is one of The finest Sunburst finishes I've ever seen! I imagine it would take someone with some mad finish skills to bring that back to original.... Still, nice looking bass!

I got the email that someone made an offer tonight. But I'm in a holding pattern at the moment. I've got three great guitars and I'm just trying to play the as much as possible.

Truth be told, my current GAS obsession is a new amp. Something with tubes and a great big speaker to voice them :)
