LeftyJ

A firm kick back to the top of the list.

[quote name='The Kerb's' post='636680' date='Oct 26 2009, 09:22 AM']Hi guys; I'd like to sell my G&L L-2000 USA made.[/quote] The one that was for sale in the Netherlands a few months ago? That's a very nice bass, I was tempted to buy it myself. Why are you selling it again so soon?

I'm letting go one of my two ATK300's, the ad can be found [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=64564"][color="#FF0000"]here[/color][/url] More pics in the ad

I am selling one of my ATK300's (sorry Ian, the 305's still not going :?) as I have just bought a Stingray 5 and already have two other ATK's. I used this ATK300 for D-tuning but have no need for that in my current bands. Those of you who know the ATK series will know what this is. For those who don't: the aim of the ATK was for Ibanez to draw customers who wouldn't normally buy an Ibanez. The ATK is everything the most well-known Ibanez bass, the Soundgear, is not: it is anything but sleek and light. Its aim was also to provide an affordable alternative to the MM Stingray, and it did so with grace. The first run of ATK's was Korean-made. Later on, Japanese models also became available, until finally the curtain fell for the ATK in 2000. Both the Japanese and Korean made ATK300 and the Japanese made ATK305 were available lefthanded. In 2007 new ATK's were introduced, this time Korean and Indonesian made, including a lefty version of the Paul Gray (Slipknot) model. There are no regular models available lefthanded anymore though. The one I'm selling is made in Japan. The specs: - 3-piece ash body, finished in transparent black; - 3-piece maple neck, wide and fat; - big ATK bridge; - 3-coil ATK humbucker, switchable to parallel / singlecoil (+ phantom coil) / singlecoil (+ phantom coil) + high cut; - 3-band EQ. The body has some dents, that's how I got it about 7 months ago. I've marked them in the pictures. I'm asking 400 Euros or best offer. Shipping within most of Europe is 30 Euros. Eastern Europe is 40 Euros. Shipping to the USA is 104 Euros.

[quote name='rasher80' post='625990' date='Oct 14 2009, 02:49 PM']Christ! Shame i bought that Precision otherwise i'd have been all over that! GAS-ing for quite a few different things at the mo![/quote] GAS? I'll give you GAS: A JB75-US/LH in Norway as we speak, natural with maple board and upgraded with an Audere preamp [url="http://www.leftybassist.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1163"]http://www.leftybassist.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1163[/url] Not cheap, but definitely nice - although the bottom piece of ash doesn't really match the rest of the body.

Biggsy's Stingray sold for just a mere 620 GBP It's just amazing what these go for in the UK lately.

I've been amazed by prices some EBMM's go for on the British secondhand market. I saw some Sterlings sell for 700 pounds, which is about 800 euros, whereas they generally sell for about 1100-1200 euros on the Dutch market. I myself got a killer deal on a Stingray 5 from the UK recently. It may well be worthwhile to advertise your Stingray on leftybass.com too, I sold my G&L SB-2 there in no-time (within two hours!).

[quote name='Le Chat Noir' post='617019' date='Oct 5 2009, 12:37 AM']Had some interest - am definitely interested in more trades involving Jazz type basses [/quote] Why? You can only trade it once This is tempting, but I really don't need it right now having just bought an SR5 and still owning three ATK's (of which I'm probably selling one fourstring in the near future though). I will keep an eye on this though!

If this is really selling for 250, someone's having a killer deal here. E-series era MIJ Fenders are great instruments. They were the first all-Japanese-made series after the JV (which had USA-made hardware and electronics) and the SQ-series (which also had some USA-made parts). I have a Strat from that era and wouldn't even THINK about selling it. Great instrument, it feels like coming home every time I play it.

Damn you and your StingRays, just bought an SR5 and still have three ATK's so I really don't need one, but otherwise I'd be seriously tempted by that black one (I feel a StingRay should have a maple board, and I've come to love black on black)

Beautiful, I always love that colour combination and that neck looks amazing. One of the prettiest Stingrays I've seen.
