Hi, are you selling them by the way? If you do, how much for? A picture would be appreciated! Thanks

If you end up selling the Fatboys I would be interested in hearing a price.

Well I have two pairs of Fatboys 4s actually. Pennyball (Andrea) wants a pair. His people are talking to my people.
 
I am still looking for a pair of AXY56 or MXY56 regardless of whether he decides to buy one of my Fatboy 4 pairs.

REMEMBER what I found out the hard way when the bigredbass lost the AXY's for new FatBoys:
 
I see you want to trade FatBoy FOURS for AXY FIVE/SIX's:  If these are for the same bass, fours and five/sixes are DIFFERENT shell sizes, and won't interchange without surgery.
 
'Classic' taper fives use four-string shells as I found out ! !

I am looking for the 56s for a new self build, as opposed to a retrofit. Thanks for the cautionary note.
