Wow, what a robust house cleaning Paulo.

A very choice and diverse collection.

If I was in the market I'd grab that early Lakland JO. Is that the original finish?

Good luck with your sales!

Backordered and no pics yet.

It was a HOMEMADE body.

Speculate, rant and complain, if you must.

^ Sounds like the start of a Dusty Hill bass project!

Matt you've got great taste in refin colors (and refinishers).

Seller says the bass "came with some homemade body ...that was a fine piece of wood but had been butchered ..by someone ......who had no idea"

Seller has good taste and has sold some nice instruments in the past.

The AV 66 J he's selling is 8.15 pounds?!

Very nice.

I've surveyed about 15-20 listings and have yet to find one less than 9 pounds.

I asked the seller if the bass was Paul's and about the book reference:

"only 3 were made left handed. Likely yes but we don’t know so we can’t price it as if it was. It would be “add a zero” otherwise. Or more.
