Your Christmas Gift

Post by Tim Jackson »

I'd like to play the BIG SPENDER here and buy one of these for all my friends, but I'm afraid in the end, some folks might not be happy. So I'll just offer holiday blessings and Merry Christmas to all!

Have you gone through the site far enough to find out what the shipping charge is?

I find it hard to believe a rav4 goes for $60, or it is preferable to have a string bass rather than a car.

(likewise i assume a string bass would fit in in a rav4 being larger than a prius, so it is not like you are going to need a bigger boat car.)

I'm guessing he meant he'd have to get a bigger vehicle to carry that thing. I knew a string bass player who got his into one of the old style VW bugs, but I think maybe the scroll stuck out the passenger side window. Not sure how that was managed in the rain.

Shipping is free, so I'm absolutely certain this is not a scam. :teeth: :teeth: :teeth: :teeth: :teeth:

3/4 bass fits with no prob. If this is actually a full-size bass it could be a tight fit.
