Tim hi,
Yes very interested, we're getting there I think
Also included with the Fender USA bass is are brand new Levy's leather
strap (=C2=A370?), Hipshot Bass Extender, and boxed/unfitted EMG P-Bass pic=
k up
set (both around =C2=A3100 each), which would have gone on the bass.
Are you open over the weekend?
Regards, Darren.
