One hell of a gift.

Oh Baby.  Why couldn't have been born rich instead of so darn good looking?

This is the first ever classico I've seen on ebay! Oh so sweet! What a rare find too!

I want that and I can't even play double bass... Well I've never tried.
Would it be a good instrument to learn on?  :-)

If you have $8,900 for a whim, I'd say absolutely yes.

hate to burst your bubble jazz
but the bid says no international shipping

This is the second classico that I have seen on ebay.  The first one was form a fella in Switzerland, and he had a BIN of something in the area of 5800 euros.
 
This one is a beauty!

I have to admit I am/was interested in this bass but am going to (need to) pass. I don't play upright enough anymore to justify spending that much on one. It really is a nice instrument though.

Olie, Olie, Olie. You need this. Go ahead, you know you want it. Then express ship in time for the gathering so we can all enjoy your good fortune.
 
Just lookin' out for ya.

Geeze Mike, when I heard the two little voices on my shoulders whispering to me... buy it,... no save the money,...buy it...no save the money etc.  
I never would have thought you'd be the one with the red cape and horns.LOL
