I should buy it and give it back to Jack:) A heinz in Sweden and Texas would make my day:D

Hah! You have no idea how quickly I thought about what I could sell in order to buy that...and then I thought, "Wait a damned minute!"

I'm still looking at it, though. Just looking. Not wanting. Just looking.

Yep. Mostly just looking.

Sounds like the beginning stages of "sitonmybass syndrome." :rolleyes:

Go ahead, ask us what we think you should do... :p

I ended up selling a bass (non EBMM) to help defray the cost. Any possibility of this happening for you?

I got nothing, man. And I'm not complaining, either. It doesn't suck to be stuck with a bunch of basses that are just too good or too special to off.

I found myself in similar circumstances; I really didn't want to sell the bass that I ended up selling, there was an emotional attachment to the bass that I sold because I recall playing it when we opened for "Foreigner," which for me, was one of the most memorable opening slots we'd done.
I placing my 25% down payment on my new Big Al 5 single H and then the next day I was told of its expected arrival date which caught me off guard. I had planned on waiting until I had saved up the entire amount, but I pulled the trigger putting me in the position of having to choose one of my many basses that had to go. :(

I am not tempted at all, not at all.

Convinced?

I really prefer non-matching headstocks, plus Heinz does have a very special owner history, but I admit briefly contemplating the possibility of purchasing said bass.

There was a Heinz SR5 hanging in the guitarcenter in Nashville for a few months. Was priced 'realistically' for a GC, but not really priced to sell. Was in excellent condition.

I actually went back a couple weeks ago hoping it was still there to try to work a deal on it... it was gone.
