Beautiful bass. Careful, though, 0 feedback seller.

I asked if he will ship to USA....No answer yet.

Interesting that he has been registered since 10/05 but no feedback. Looks sweet though.

Do any forumites live in Germany?
....or close by?

I just sent Bruno Vagnarelli from the forum an email about it. He lives in Italy and tours the area in the "DEEPER" Deep Purple cover band.
Maybe he can swing by and check it out.

Man!.....That thing looks mint!

I have no doubt that it's a beautiful example of an MC s/n bass but did you notice how sharp the corners were on the bridge p/u surround (compared to my MB and MD s/n's).

Real nice.

His seller name (minus the X's) is die now, cry later.

Here's another of the MB before the cover came off.

Unfortunately, at the moment I have no chances to go to Germany.

Anyway, I would like to see the bass before to place any bid... unusual bridge pickup surround, no pictures of the back, no pictures of the whole headstock, seller with 0 feedback, no Paypal...

Any Deutsch forum member?

Edit: sorry, I didn't see all the pictures...
