Hi Ken, you've got to be kidding! That was you looking at the v63?
I talked to the guy during the day and was suppose to look at the bass after work. He called me to say a fella from Pontiac was coming over to check it out and for me to call before I headed over. So I thought she was gone.
He called me about an hour later and asked if I wanted to look at her. I drove over and she appeared to be in great condition. He had a 68 SVT/810 rig in his basement, very cool. Once I heard the v63 through that SVT, (BIG FUN), the struggle began. He had an interesting collection of basses including a nice, still white, 86 4003. I was surprised he was selling this one. Anyway, after a brief struggle he had all my money and I ran out the house with a great sounding v63. I drove straight to band practice and played her all night. She has a wonderful tone and feel.
Ken, don't you have a v63? What do you think of the 63? I would be curious about your opinion of this one this one if you had a chance to play her.
Small world indeed.

I'm just happy to be here.
I sold my pristine V63 MG about five years ago for just under a grand, but then I only paid $700 for it. This one like my old one has the slimmer neck. I did play through the rig in the basement. Other than those 2 small nicks and a couple of scratches I though it was perfect. Great sound, nice neck. I primarily play guitar and only stumble around on the bass occasionally. I wasn't willing to go the amount he had for a reserve price but bid on it anyway. I think I have an original RIC part you need to fix the case, I will have to look. I can get it to you at the SE MI confluence as soon as Jeff sets the date (hint for Jeff). That was a nice purchase I am sure you will be happy with it. Congrats!
