I don't know anything about them, but I know that some folks are crazy about Epi & Gibson stuff from the 60's.

Wow, i just asked if he'd ship to this side of the pond....but i doubt. In case are there anyone who could help me? If i'm not wrong thats a Newport with 2+2 headstock. Love it.
-
I'll help any way I can. I'll send you a PM
-
I can probably help you out since I'm about an hour or so from Louisburg.
I go in for knee surgery on Thursday, so I won't be mobile for a while after that.
-
Could be a good deal depending on actual condition. The headstock looks like the early 60s 2+2, but the pickup on those was the black plastic cover mudbucker.

If you can pick it up but can't ship it because of your operation, I could help ship it to Iome since I'm in Raleigh as well.

OK, sounds like a plan, Denis. I don't know if Iome has heard back from the seller or not about shipping to Italy.
Also interesting about the pickup not looking like the original - I really won't know one way or another if I go to pick it up.
Either way, I'll wait until I hear back from Iome to see if he wants me to go get it for him.

Great guy's, i really appreciate your help. Still waiting for an answer from the guy.

He may not think you are serious since you're not local. Maybe Ack or I should contact him?
-
Go Denis!

Okay, I shot him an email asking if he still has it.

I shot him one last night before I went to bed - he said he still has it.
I also asked him if there was ever a black pickup cover for it. He replied that doesn't remember any black cover for it.
He did mention that he still has a small white pickguard for it that is a bit curled up.
-
Cool. Are you going to pick it up for Iome?

If the seller can meet me today, I can go to Louisburg and pick it up.

guys thanks a lot but my wife has just seen what i was doing, "you don't need another bass, we're saving money for a new car and bla bla bla...". I don't agree, you always need another bass, but since i've just finished fixing the cooling system on her Ford Ka (and i'm not a mechanic) i'm afraid she's right...
I'm sorry i've wasted your time lads, hope to return the favor as soon as possible.

Got this about 10 minutes too late as I just sent him another email trying to arrange to meet.
No problem at all. I'll send him another email to cancel the meet up.
Cheers.

OK, I sent him another email cancelling the meet.
On the bright side, it's still available if anyone is interested.

My pleasure. Good to know that wives have the same veto power all over the world.
See, we're all not that much different.

Thanks, Denis - I probably would have had to drop it off with you for shipping had it gone through..
