Just when I thought I was out....

I sold my 30th Anniversary Ray some months back, as I needed some fundage to finance straight teeth for my son. Played around with some Rays every now and again in various GCs during lunch breaks, regretting the one I let get away.

Fast forward to today, I recieved an unexpected bonus check for referring a new hire into my company. As a result, I pulled the trigger on a NOS 30th that was in a back room at a GC in Florida. Back in the saddle again!

Welcome back! Glad you could get another 30th; that was some luck there.

Fabulous! They really are special

Congratulations!

It amazes me that there's still NOS of these fine basses to be found.

BP is right, the 30th truly is a special instrument. About once a week I'd look at photos of my old one, thinking, "why did I sell this bass?" Bovinehost, you're right too - I'm lucky to have found this one; an employee at the Clearwater store ordered it for himself and then quit before buying it, so it just sat in the packing box staying new for me! Oli, I was amazed to see there was still one available too, the manager @ the local GC was very helpful in helping me track one down.

This one will be passed down to one of the kids when I croak. I'll let them fight it out!

That's a good story-- congratulations! Don't let this one get away.
