Well, if you're going to bow out, do it with some style and panache :)

Sorry, it's not a Gibson. 

Kimbara, 70s Matsumoku copy, but a very close copy apart from the lack of through body stringing. 

The scratchplate is a replacement as the original tort one was gassing off and crumbling, which is a shame. 

It's still lovely none the less.

So, I ordered and paid for a 6 string bass on New Year’s Eve and received it yesterday. 
So is that just “making it” before the deadline, or epic early fail? 
If the former, then I’m in! 

If you paid in 2021, you’re in 😉

A guitarist wanted a 4x12 cab which the seller had, offered him this bass in exchange for it. Also being a guitarist, the seller hung it on his wall for the last 40 years, occasionally having a plonk on it. 

Apart from a couple of dings that it had when he got it, it's in amazing condition. A couple of little issues, but age will do that to you. 😁

I like the crafter gear - that slimline nylon is right up my street for noodling 

If you like crafter you’ll love boulder creek and it just so happens…

 

no no, it’s not for you 🤔

I've always thought Crafter to be similar to Yamaha, in that at any given price point you seem to get more than your money's worth. 

I've got an old Crafter bowl back acoustic that I've had four years, it's a great little guitar.

I've been known to enjoy a Crafter or two...

 

9 of the 12 Anniversary Edition acoustics. 

 

They absolutely punch well above their weight. I have a non-export Korean Dragon (the one with the pick guard below) and it is phenomenal. A far stretch better than a USA Martin Dreadnought I had a while back.
