She's a fokken beaut!!!  Congratulations!

Thanks guys.  She came today and she's a keeper.  Excellent condition with one finish crack in the back, none in the front which is typical for these basses.  Only the case and pickguard aren't original, the rest is.  A great deal for sure IMHO.....  Sure glad I returned the first one!

Looks nice. I hope this works out better for you than the first one, not that it would take much!

Well, I've only been able to play it for 20 minutes or so and I'm very pleased with it.  All of the electronics work fine and it has a really pleasant hollow body tone quality with a nice low-mid-hi balance to it.  The pups aren't as bassy sounding as the first Mosrite I had, but it had the cheaper Celebrity pups.  I'll fool around with adjustment screws just for fun.  The cosmetic condition is a definite 8.5 - 9, just a few nicks and a couple finish cracks.  Great shape for its age.  Unless anything unusual pops up in the next day or so, it looks like a really good deal!

Nice subtle flame on the top  :o I see the bass now resides in the chair of honor.

Yes, every now and then I move my butt so a bass can get its family portrait!  Best lighting in the house is in my music room!

My pleasure!  As long as things are selling at drastically discounted prices, I'm gonna do my best to participate!   ;D
