That’s brilliant, well done, it’s great when something comes along that you’ve wanted for a long time and especially something that doesn’t come up very often , hopefully you’ll share some pics when you’re ready 

yeah, fortunately I was in a position to make it happen.

I only currently have the photos from the advert, im yet to see it in the flesh

It certainly looks good and I think it’ll be even better up close, very cool

Anyone spotted this stunner from Bass Bros?  Seems a reasonable price too for a 66?  Very clean

Nice example but I had to double take on the price. It’s probably a bit more than I’d expect for a 3tsb 66.

Gardiner Houlgate Have got a few interesting lots coming up soon, the 71 ghost town bass seems a high price though

I'm also thinking this is a bit too expensive for a standard colour CBS Precision. Obviously, dealers are always wanting to drive prices upwards.

Bass Bros are normally pretty competitive with their prices. This does seem a bit high, but I'd guess the reason is the condition. It's in extremely good shape for '60s bass and I guess to collectors that is worth the premium.

I had quite an itch for a nice 66P and looked at them for a long while, I still can’t make up my mind on the wider nut width,  they varied from around 6.5k - 8k , it’s at the top end price wise but good condition and original case, I can see it being sold soon , if I was closer I’d be tempted to have a look
