Thank you, very kind!
I’m sorry you missed out, I put on on hold for a Basschatter who was going to pay me over the weekend. Unfortunately his car flywheel and clutch went, so he had to pull out.
I think the Fender Mexican Deluxe series from around 2016 are well worth a look. I’ve had a few of them (!) and they are very nice. Satin necks, contoured heel, PJ pickups and active/passive at the flick of a switch. Should be in your price range too.
