Congratulations Ken!

Now that it seems all of you have your CS, could you please help me to find one (I won't mind a later model)? Cash on the nail...

C'mon, make this poor italian guy happy! Image

PS: My '88 V63 has a black case too.

Bruno, just have your V63 refinished in SquireGlo. It'll look the same and cost a few grand less.

I know, Dane... it's only that my V63 has a particular value to me, I could neither give it away nor change it in any way...

How do you do it Ken? Nice score mate.

How does it play & sound? The guy I bought my 72' from also has a 68' and a CS. He said the CS was his favorite bass by a long way and was looking for a spare one!

Bob, I was looking for a spare CS(that's a lie because I didn't have a CS when I started the project), so I created my own..(with some mods)....

From looking at the picture, I see what you guys mean. The project is actually a 75 4000. The longer headstock on the CS rules. So does the sound. This one is number 30.

The earlier ones are in better proportions as apposed to the later ones,this ones a 91 has a slim neck,correct pickup surround,dimensionally correct headstock-trc,I wouldn't own a later one because of these things.

Bob,I might end up selling this one,I wasn't really looking for one I just ran across it and the early ones are hard to find ,so I snagged it.

So if anyone wants one real bad and is willing to pay the price[top dollar]let me know. [email protected]

K.J. Swearingen, the man with the deep pockets.

Go for it Ken, if I had your resources, I'd have 'em all too.

Nice CS, so I guess you won't be needing the F hole 4005 any more, huh?

I have a feeling everything comes and goes with Ken at the right price. He buys right, then sells it if he gets the right offer.

Buy low, sell high..the American way...
