Hi everybody

Just putting in a trade-feeler for my thumb.

Reply #21.

Bass is in very good condition. Just had a brush-up: new truss-rod (steel), light sanding of body and neck, new jack input, new battery compartment and cover, a man-made-ivory nut (still got the brass nut), a replace stacked pot knob. Bass is in very good condition for a 29 year old in my opinion.

Main interest of trade is a dolphin. Will put up recent photos if any replies to this. Main reason for trading this is a major GAS for dolphins and little cash.

I read you brother Jezz. Dolphin gas is very toxic.
 
No dolphins out there looking for a new home?
