Description: 

Here for your consideration is a 1996 MIJ Fender The Ventures Limited edition Jazz Bass JB-165VR in very good condition! Autographed on the front by Bob Bogle (black on black so hard to see) & on the rear by Leon Taylor. A beautiful and rare piece of Ventures history and also a great playing 70's style Jazz Bass! Featuring a lightweight Ash body, gold hardware, bound rosewood fretboard with block inlays, and a one piece (no separate electronic control cavity) pick guard. Body shows some light surface marks but is overall in very good condition. The Bob Bogle autograph on the front is pretty hard to see as it was written in black on the black/grey body, but is present and can be seen up close. The Leon Taylor autograph on the rear of the body is overall still in good condition but has faded a bit in some areas. Neck is in great shape. Headstock shows a small ding on the front edge (see photo), but is otherwise clean. Fretboard is in excellent condition and frets show essentially no wear at all. Hardware is in great shape. Electronics work great and features a set of 70's style Jazz Bass pickups that sound good and punchy. A rare and super cool piece of Ventures history that would be a perfect addition to a collection, or just a killer Jazz Bass that feels great! Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. Includes hard case.

Pretty good translation into English. Far from a complete collection, but certainly a good foundation.

Made for certain readers. 🤔
Format: Kindle
Not saying it is a bad book but... I could not understand it. If you like old English writing great! I support you in that but this book was not for me.

great
Format: Paperback
Mulla Nasrudin is the Br'er Rabbit, or Coyote, of the Middle East. The stories are teaching stories, and they can be very amusing, thoughtful, and thought stimulating, all at once. Idries Shah's books tend to be very well written, anyway, however the subject is simply delightful. I can't add much more than what others have said, except to say that the stories really make one think. Juha is the Arabic version, and Hoja is the Turkish version. The stories sometimes show up in Western culture, without attribution.
