Yep, sorry to hear that too Marc.
The good thing is at least you didn't have to wait too long to sell this bass and have the money to repair you car.
In fact I assume you were a GAS victim (Gearbox Acquisition Syndrome)
To the next happy player of this beautiful, I have Marc's former Euro 5 since a few days now and nothing to worry about : Marc is very honest and sells great basses in great condition.
