Title: NOS LPB-2 5-strings at German dealer?
Post by: doombass on August 06, 2009, 04:40:51 AM

Found these two at Thomann Germany. Can't make out the serial nr's but those are the old brown vinyl/ porn interior cases from the 90's. They say B-stock and someone must have dug them out from a hidden place in the warehouse.

What's next? A bunch of old pre ww2 Dutch bicycles?

Two DeLuxes (not Standard like Thomann says) that survived as showpieces. They weren't rare at the time and aren't now and the cheapo Special version (which got deleted later) with the active TB Plus soaps sounds infinitely better. Prices are hefty even if Dutch scrap metal found its way in these.  :o

Ha, that would be funny if Uwe had to get these to ship to someone over here in the poor country.
