It may not be a lefty, but will it enhance the sale? Just don't wipe it down before shipping, LOL!

"Comes as pictured, Sorry no case"

If it comes as pictured, then who needs a case? I trust her to take good care of it.

I always wonder how the conversation occurs when I see a listing like this.

Dude: "Hey baby, I need to sell some shit. Why don't you throw on that cheap-ass Frederick's of Hollywood negligee I got you for Valentine's Day and pose for some eBay pictures for me."

Chick: "Hmmm... I dunno. Won't there be a ton of pervy weirdos looking at it and saving the pictures and sharing it on guitar forums and stuff?"

Dude: "Yeah, probably... but maybe one of them will be a big-wig Hollywood director-type and you'll finally get discovered and become famous! But, if not, I'll use some of the money from the sale and take you out someplace special... one of those fancy sit-down places... you know, like IHOP or somethin'."

Chick: "OH... well... in that case, go get the camera!!!"

That's a pretty bad refin. Too thick and a bit cloudy.

The bass looks great, though!

No, but my wife did secretly go to an amazing professional photographer and got some very tasteful boudoir pics taken posing with a few of my basses without my knowledge.

She gave me a bound book of the photos and had her favorite one printed on a sheet of steel to hang in my music room. Looks absolutely killer. It was her anniversary present to me.

And then we went to Denny's to celebrate... Moons Over My Hammy, and all that...

Considering the time-and-money she spent to give you a special gift/memory, and the time-and-money You spent on your Denny's dinner - I'm surprised she DIDN'T make you sell a bass! Now THAT'S Love..... :lol:
