Haven't seen one of these offered in a while, just came up today, with a $350 starting bid, or $450 Buy it Now, which could be a steal. Comes with case and the two common modules. I'm totally tapped out, this being the season. Someone give her a good home!!

I got my text msg alert that it was listed with a BIN, and I was gonna go nab it, but I held off because of the "slight neck twist"... (though that's better than a bow...) plus I should probably wait until I finish my other projects so I can fund an x-620 without increasing my "storage footprint" :) . If another "big" box shows up at my house, my wife might start asking questions..... :)

I usualy would rather have to correct a bow then a twist. A bow can usualy be helped with a truss rod adjustment. A twist usualy involves a re-fret and leveling the fretboard.

So McB, you picked up that Outlaw Bass? Sweet, but how are you gonna explain that to your wife? I passed on a Phoenix bass in the Grand Rapids CraigsList about six months ago and have been kicking myself ever since...

I'm working from home next week, so I can intercept packages, plus I'm going to list a couple of my others out on the 'bay to "trade" :)

I've been watching for a 620 for a while... I've had a few in the past, and a couple of 610s, but usually I did some repairs to them and sent them on their way.... The longnecker I have now just doesn't have the same feel to the first one I had... I figure I need to get a "keeper" and stop the rotation... but maybe pick up an occasional one that needs some repairs... :rofl:

I wanted the tobacco burst because I like that color better than the charcoal burst... and I just recently picked up a 730 :eek2: that is absolutely gorgeous, so I'll have a matched pair of outlaws for "keepers"

my current 720 rebuild will be put up when done too... sort of like my other hobby of keeping old POS Subaru's on the road :rofl:

the seller was correct. it plays very well, with nice action...
I compared the "twist" with my other basses, and they all seem to have that "twist" :-?
both modules work well....
