Ha ! If it's not a record it must be close.

Sold with BIN at 1,975 USD - no wonder.

Congratulations!

Great job Todd, especially for the speed you catched it !
Special training or what ?

Good follow-up... Leave that for interpretation. I had the case, cord and charger and couldn't take them being unused any longer. I will be contacting Mica for some restoration as the bass is in need of a few things. Once the work is done, I'll post some pix. Thanks and happy hunting. Todd

Congratulations Todd,
My day might come eventually.

Pictures as Promised - of interest - original finish, but no serial number on headstock or truss cover. One pot has 1876 written in black marker. All pots marked 19-8129 which I presume means 29th week of 81. Who knows where serial number were on 1981 Series I basses? Any guess as to what the front wood is? Almost striped - Walnut or a dark Koa?
