I just stumbled upon this Bass, when looking through the Line6 website. (I'll explain that later)

Anyway, hearing its name, I thought 'I need one of these'. Then I saw one, and nearly puked.

The '69 isn't too bad, but still not a pretty guitar.

But look at that emblem. *cries*

I have no doubt in the world that it is as smoothe as butter. The older late sixties is growing on me. It may make my wishlist.
