You'll have to ask me again when my fretted single H comes in. Between the super low action, the TI jazz rounds and lack of frets, the fretless is its own complete animal, kinda hard to compare it to any fretted, at least for me it is.

I WANNA KNOW ABOUT THE STERLING.

You found a lavender pearl didnt you. BUSTED!!!!:D
Ding! Ding! Ding! And it is pristine, complete with matching headstock and maple fretboard. It is some seriously new old stock, seeing that the finish has been discontinued for at least 4 years. I am hoping EB will give me a birthdate soon.

I can't wait to see this one in person!

Hey Paul. My LE Bongo should be here Thursday. Maybe we can get together next Friday. I don't have a gig. Call me later in the week after the wheels leave.

I would have no problem shipping to Canada. Although I don't know what that would entail.
Thanks for the offer. But I've been dinged in the past.

14% tax
about an extra 100 bucks shipping
then import brokerage which range from company to company, but it could be several hundred.

so much for free-trade....

eitherway, good luck with the sale. I just need to keep my eye out on canada :)

Paul, I HATED that color when I first saw a long time ago, but the more I see it, the more I am taken by it. Sweet score.

This isnt an insult to the masculinity of it, but my gf would LOVE that bass, her current bass is 'champange sparkle' which is quite similiar to that.

Oh I understand, I just happen to love this colour on a bass. If I ever were to something crazy like buy a over priced Jazz bass clone by some Polish sounding guy, it would be in Burgundy Mist. :p I am not too keen on the colour in general, but on a bass or guitar it speaks to me like no other.
