Young man , is it a want or a need?

I went to our local guitar dealer , spotted a beautiful high end Peavey Bass < cirris > had to walk away. Cost ....$1399.00 WITH CASE. Maybe one day I'll get the bass that say's "Take me", maybe. Give it a test drive , then decide.

Turns out the ad was from a misinformed seller. He has a stock MIM (made in mexico) Strat. Nothing wrong with that, but it ain't the same as a Tex-Mex. The Tex-Mex has special Pickups and wiring.

When I informed him that MIM Strats could be bought new for under 350, he became hostile.

Too bad. Just because he overpaid doesn't mean the next owner should.
