Well, next time anyone speaks to Chris, please ask him if he'll stop by Northern Westchester and give me the bass lessons I shoulda had when I was a kid.

We'll prepare him a nice lunch in return.

And yeah...I got the star licks tape...need more detail though...

What do you guys think this one's worth?
I was seriously thinking of dropping a $750 or so bid, but now it's up to $763.00 with just under an hour to go...

Well, you're going to have to add pickups, tailpiece, wiring, and more, so if you were to buy all that new, you're probably looking at $400. If you're not fixated on the color, you can probably find a new one in stock colors for $1500 or so.

True... but I'm not much of a "new bass" kinda guy.

I do have everything onhand to make this into a complete bass, but I just noticed the two extra screw holes by the bridge for the plastic badass surround - that's a deal-breaker for me, so I'm out!

Wow! Sold for $900! Makes that $950 complete DG I got last December sound like a steal!
