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?
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.

Good luck with the sale, Brian.
I just hope you don't regret it some day.

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.
Good luck with the sale! Tradewise I would trade anyting but the 4000 I guess.

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.

Buy it Sepp, and keep it in the fraternity, so to speak.

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.
Sepp

Go for it Paul! And don't forget to be a good boy, and play "Stay Clean" with it!

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.
