a gamble...

[brycycle]

last week, i came across a CL listing for a '73 MG 4001 in the uS for a great price.

i contacted the seller who informed me he purchased it off of an "old timer" 5 years ago and as the current owner is a drummer, he's had it cased for pretty much all of that 5 years.

the seller doesn't have a digital camera, so i sent him images of a '73 with the desired features of that year and he confirmed that his looked exactly the same. as there were other interested parties, i gave the seller a call and we set the price and shipping details.

i know it was a gamble - let's hope it pays-off. updates to come later in the week when it arrives...

Correct, just leave off the "w" at the end.

Good luck, Bryce. Photos, please, when you get it.

i've always had perfect luck buying from CL.

i'm usually sent photos which tell all, but there have been 2 other gambles in the past. on one occasion the photos are terrible (cell phone) - the other was a blind buy.

yes - but you helped me pick-up TWO rics basses for $2800 IIRC - one being a CS. i sold the other, an early 80's white 4001, for $1800...but yes, our "dear friend" was out there...

on that subject, how's that CS coming along?

Locked and loaded, Bryce.

Locked and loaded, Bryce.

If there was gold ore in a Scottish lake, would that then be 'loched and loded"?
