And it does appear to have an extra small loop (maybe eight or ten inches worth?) downstream of the valve block ... I wish Phil had a back view of his baritone ... the one on ebay claims to be an inch and a half longer than this one:

I hope that you latched on to this one, it's the one you thought you were bidding on while running up the price in the BBb a year or so ago ...

Just saying... that's how it goes with an auction sometimes. :roll: I think sometimes we think of eBay as a marketplace, and not a competitive and possibly spiteful bidding environment.
