That'll make a nice add to someone's collection. That crack isn't bad at all!

wow! 800$ for white (yellow in this case) Thriumph is a very good price. Even with that crack.
Seems like some good basses are being sold for very little money these days.
The financial crisis in the US must be really bad.

Too bad I only saw this one after the auction was finished.
He didn't ship outside the US anyway.
Also good I didn't see it because I just bought a new 1977 F***er Precision. I had some money because I sold my '68 EB-3. Sorry guys  :).  
Have to change my avatar now.

I am sorry for saying the F word. I except the concequences  :).

But I still have my black G-3.  From the 6 Gibsons that I have owned that is the only one that stayed.

Yes, I realize that I have to watch my steps now. From now on I will move very carefully and will look at at least 10 Gibson basses on Ebay each day.

Please throw stones at me if I ever want sell my G-3.

We'll put those fours screws that hold the Fender neck to good use too. Forever you will then be in close, bolt-on contact with your beloved alder (or ash).

The Great Defector. Great song by Irish (or Scottish?) band Bell X1.  Go and listen to it!
