Vet bills from a sick dog that didn't pull through, a new horse on the way and I'm still reeling from the log repairs on the house. It's not that I have to sell it but rather than incurring debt it is the smart move. I've always said that I can sound like feces on anything I play so why play a great bass? :twisted: Besides, I think I'm being fair on the reserve price but these LK's have been all over the place and the market may feel otherwise.

BTW.....I'll still need a Ric so if anyone has an interesting trade, plus cash of course, I'm all ears.

Wow, Brian. Tough choice but I understand.

I've played this bass and all I can say is it is in very well-kept shape and I wish I had the cash to get it.

Lousy timing. I probably have the money within 2 months. Thank god no shipping to Europe..... ;-)

It would have suited my Lemmy stack very well though.

I would certainly ship international for a known Forumite!

Of course I regret this sale already so no need wait to regret it later on. Some things are simply more important.

Jeff,

I'd love to do just that and help a brother out at the same time. I have something else in the works but believe me the adage, "a bird in hand is better than two in the bush" is ringing loudly in my ears, as I type this.

Without being premature and going too much into derail, if option 1 comes to fruition, it will be spectacular.

Brian, best of luck with the sale brother! Sorry to hear of your predicament.

Mojo sent to you Brian. I've been there a few times myself. I had to sell my last 360 due to a money crunch.
