Talk about your "bio-graphic" auction listing!

It's actually kinda cool how the seller gets into the recounting of this poor thing's history!

At least he's honest about the bass. I hope he gets a decent price for it. As far as the neck crack repair goes, if the bass is stable, I wouldn't be afraid of it. I have a V63 with a long neck crack down the treble side that was professionally repaired and it has worked beautifully. The scar is visable, but the neck is solid as a rock.

Really, that honesty is pretty refreshing on an eBay auction. Still, the lack of binding makes it look pretty odd, since it doesn't have the contouring that the S basses had.

Pictures are awsome. Hey, a picture is worth a thousand words right ?

Well, I opened the bidding on this one...I'd really like to get it and do a refinish on it, um, like violet-glo, maybe? It would make a nice twin to my '80 formerly burgundy-glo, now irridescent blue. I still need to get a digital camera so I can take pics....maybe for Christmas
