Yeah, well - there is no god. So what else is new. Horrible people do horrible shit to each other and to perfectly good instruments that could have been used in making the bastards better people.
though j-basses, even the vintage ones, are a tad over-appreciated IMO.

I like that when he refinished it, instead of filling in the holes where the pickguard was mounted
he just put the screws back in.

I bought an amp from five years before that for less than half that. And the bits in it are as old as it is.

nah that's just plain silly. My old tube amps always run on some obscure Moscow military grade tubes that the Russians used in Radio transmitters and stuff. Perfect for loud, bassy amps. Bought a box (something like 30 or fifty of them) with a friend back then for something like 20.00 Fmk = about ...3.5 Euros.

that's taking it a leeeeeeeetle bit too far. what, would somebody that buys that also drive a hybrid Toyota Jesus and a Jesus Cherokee? that's verging on sacrilege, and the folks that would buy it are too dense to realize it.
