Hi,
I didn’t post any pic yet of my trusty Gretsch G2220 in imperial stain, it’s a really good bass for the price, plays really well and smooth. My luthier set the lowest action possible for flats (if I wanted to put rounds on it I’ll have to raise it a bit). I like the very mellow sound of it 
As I’ve just acquired a new bass, let’s post them together. The pink panther is a Fender Affinity Jaguar H crafted in Indonesia (these basses are usually made in China but the 2 models with matching headstock are from Indonesia).
The Gretsch is a 30’’ and the Jaguar a 32’’ scale. I have Ghs nickel flatwounds on the Gretsch and D’Addario EXL roundwounds on the pink panther.
The Fender needs a proper setup though, it plays fine for a factory setup but the intonation and action need adjusting. I’ll bring it to the luthier in a month, I may ask him about changing the default bridge or not.

I was correct, in this case Option 50 was for the KRG block inlays

I bought another bass and I’ll post pictures of it later…it’s one I’ve wanted for a while and someone actually lowered the price to $400, $50 off the asking price. The kicker for me is that I didn’t need it shipped and saved $40 on that…it was literally located an hour away, so I drove to Moline to pick it up. Because I had bought it on eBay, I had already paid the shipping and then noticed “hey it’s in Rock Island!” When I got there, they “refunded” the $40 shipping…the real kicker is that it didn’t come with a case, so they offered me the deluxe hard case for that $40. More later

So… essentially, you’re making money on this deal?

Hehe “saved” is more like it. The case is epic and HUGE with a bit of fraying around the edges but it’s something I can fix. The guitar itself is in great condition and the guy who sold it to me is a luthier and set it up before I arrived. Considering it was a hard case I’m surprised I didn’t have to pay anything more.

Oh yeah but in black with chromed pickups and the old-style bridge. I really wanted the tobacco sunburst but the black spoke to me from the shop as I passed by

Very nice @athosmr2003 - love the burst 
! I think this may be an older version than mine…
Now you’ll need a good strap
