Pre-CBS means pre-1965.  Hmmm...  Before goldtop before sparkletop...  I cannot imagine how rare this piano bass would be.

Did you recently win the lottery?

Prepare to be disappointed.

Those pre-CBS piano basses used an integrated one piece resonator/tine assembly that had short life.  You will have a very very hard time replacing any broken ones.

And they did not sound very good.

you would be surprised to know that I've recently handled much rarer instruments
moreover, you never know. Maybe an owner sees this posts in a year and thinks about it...should I have posted this on lasagna forum?

No, I've not won the lottery.  I never said I won't say "no" to an offer

thank you for the advice! I have a friend who has one and imo it sounds amazing.

If the right occasion comes, I'll gladly purchase it.
I've also said I'm open for other bass offers!
