Buy it and charge it to @Frank Blank. He'll never miss the dosh. 😁 I'll say nothing to Neeps if I can have a shot on your new, vintage, rare, pristine bass.
Don't know if this helps your making a decision Robert, but here's a photo of my '75 AVRI bullet - the neck is arrow straight with this much of the bullet showing. Good luck.
I wonder why both retailers are giving them a body-swerve? They're generally excellent basses and those two outfits are big players in guitar retail. Hope this isn't a sign of anything 'terminal' fir G&L? 🙁
I've been playing mostly 5s since '91, although I have recently bought a couple of fours and am finding them fun. For gigs though, it still would be a pair of fives.
