7enderhead Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 If my suggested price seems to be over the top, just get in contact. Nothing that cannot be bargained about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, prefer this second generation configuration ('78-'80), but it's not as popular as the third and fourth generations ('81-'87). The pre-production and first generation versions ('76-'77) usually attract a small premium though. A very small point against this example would be the non-original strap pins.

But believe me, I'm not going to make any profit on this bass (as on any other piece of kit I have ever sold). Fair enough to point out the strap pins. The base came to me fitted with nasty Schallers, which I replaced immediately. I will adapt my initial post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapolpora Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 A stunning example. I'd pay the asking price - if I didn't already have one Yours is near identical to mine but in much better condition. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
