Hi Valentino, and everyone elso. Since I started this post, thought I'd comment on the refinish price. Hmmmmm- since I paid a little over 1000.00 for the bass, I can live with a few dings....but, I also realize the labor involved, so the price isn't too out there. After all, wouldn't a new one be in the 4,000 range?
Thanks for the interest, thought it would be a useful discussion.
