It's no joke. I had been after a lefty Ibanez Musician MC924 since years. 9 months ago I put an announcement on the lefty bass page, a kind of half hearted joke attempt about anyone having one to sell for my 40th birthday.

I came into work a week or so a go to an email. Someone had read my message and had one available. I thought it was a bad joke at first, but replied to the mail asking for some photographs. The next morning I came into work (a day blessed by god) to about 20 photos of the instrument and appologies that he had defretted it in the early years and had also replaced the plastic EQ buttons with metal ones. Otherwise its mint! Has been on his house wall for years and is largely unused.

All I can say is my dream is about to come true, and there are still some truly nice people in this world who think of others. I am currently getting my whole family to chip in for my birthday, but I expect the deal to go through in a couple months!!! :-)).

Dreams do come true!! :-))
