This bass has been for sale here before. Not sure if it's still the same owner. May be a good buy at $1100 BIN.

Here's the link to the old thread. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=565&hilit=tobias

Seems it was the topic of some controversy at the time.

It shouldn't have been controversial at all. Once you sell a bass, you no longer own it, and no longer have a say in what the owner does with it, or how much he sells it for. That being said, I think it's a nice looking bass.

Danomite64 you are 110% completely right spot on. Those were my worst darkest dumbest moments on any sight anywhere at any time. It was a huge mistake I wish I could take back or erase. I hear Patrick is a super guy and that bass was awesome. Heck I might buy it back if he would consider selling it to me after I was such an A-HOLE!

I am the owner of this bass once again. I started communication with Patrick while it was on the bay. We had some contact back and forth and not only was I able to make amends with Patrick I have my old bass back. He kept it in great condition and was a real gentleman through the whole thing. I hopefully cleaned up my bad mojo and got my bass back....Been working on it all night just taking it apart cleaning oiling and putting some Marcus Miller DR's on. OH MY she is singing. Thanks Patrick you are a gent!

Great story of redemption! Glad to hear all is well, and you have your "baby" back!

It makes me very glad to hear this. We all make mistakes in our lives but often do not get the chance to make ammends. I'm happy that you had that opprotunity and made the most of it and think that it is fitting that the object of your contention was also the object of your reconciliation, that's Karma. 8-)

Cheers!

Thumbslam, clearing up your Karma has reduced your number of re-incarnations several fold.
