I'm just curious as to how long some people have waited, or have been waiting, for a particular bass you've been after, to become available. I'm talking used/vintage and not a GAS bass, but one you've always coveted. Was it instant? A few years? Did it turn up when you least expected it/weren't looking?
I have 2 or 3 different makes/models i'm always looking for, but i've been trying to find a CS '55-57 type precision in sunburst (an original is out my price range), or a lightweight and affordable '68 Tele bass. Dealer ones seem to be quite pricey.
Anybody find their bass? Are you still looking? Did you give up? Did it turn out to be what you wanted?
