I would love to get it in BBb, larger one, will keep looking. Thanks for the find though.

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.
