It keeps the price of a vintage lefty in check. He is not one of those 20k+ dreamers. If I had the dough, I would possibly go for it.
Guys I'm trying but the deal would involve alot of variables including borrowing money,trading and selling other gear.I will give it my best shot.I've always wanted a pre CBS Fender so I will do ANYTHING I can to score this.I've had alot of great basses in my possesion but not one like this.I believe James Jamersons sunburst P was a 1960 and living here in Detroit that would mean alot to me.

If you look closely, you can see a line that go to the heel and to the side which to me looks like a laminated repair. It could be wood grain but I'm not sure it would go like that. I might be wrong but may be not. I've send the pics to my luthier to validate this.
Maybe you can ask this question to the owner of Guitar Showcase. I was told he was one of the largest guitar collector in the US and an authority on vinatge instruments.
