Let me speak to them. CME is not afrraid to price high. Could be a refin(not likely) or a refret(may not bother some). They're very good a giving in hand description. I have another bass coming in from them that I just bought, and I e-mailed'em last night to prepare for my call.

Refrets should never be a problem, do you drive your '67 car with it's original tires on it?
I suppose you'll be bringing it to the Fest!

Let me close the deal.
Gotta try to move the Lakland as well.
I agree refrets are not a problem, if they are done properly.

They don't open for another 45 minutes. Thanks to Mike Gutierrez, I've spoken with the owner before. Very upfront guy. They would rather lose a sale then mislead or have an unhappy customer.
