I just knew that one day I would witness the meteoric resurgence of this particular model family. That heals some of the wounds of the derision heaped upon me when I admitted here to buying my first "banana bass" (SB-450 as it was) many moons ago - sigh! Being a prophet is sometimes a lonesome occupation.
Now with Ilan - who (given his location) should know all about lonesome prophets or how you still have to wait for them - showing interest, SBs have been anointed and the naysayers of yore have gone into a hiding of shame and guilt somewhere in the Minnesota mountains.
And a certain George C.
has still - to this day - not repaired the broken truss rod of his SB-300.
