Yup, I finally got it! after paying extra $500 worth of VAT, clearance charge for Fedex and storage I finally have it.

It is simply beautiful! not in mint condition, but near-mint (with a few stupid bruises that could have been avoided if the first owner would actually care about it...).

Pictures will be uploaded tomorrow.

Delicious. Every time I see DCM on a particular model, I think to myself, "That colour works best on that model." Then I see another one and I change my mind.

Right now, I think DCM works best on a 660.

Glad it got there safe and sound, Gil! :D

My 660DCM does have a great jazz tone using just the neck toaster with the tone control rolled back a bit. Now if I could only play as good as it sounds!
