toontra Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I'm selling one of my Levinson Blades used only as a tour backup. This means (luckily) it's rarely been out of its flight case. I don't know the exact year or spec. but it's almost certainly an early Swiss made model. Condition is generally very good - a few small dents and scratches to the varnish layer as you would expect but certainly nothing major. The neck is clean on both sides, with very little wear to the fingerboard or frets. Machine heads and bridge adjusters all in good nick and fully functioning. Action is fast and clean with no buzz. Serial number: 96263 I love these guitars. They have been my main live instrument for 20 years and I prefer them to the Fender Jazz - better workmanship and materials and a bigger tonal range. I guess if you're reading this then you know about all that anyway!

paul_5 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Holy Underpants!, that's a lovely bass. I too prefer the feel of Blade necks to Fender Jazzes. Looks like a bargain. Have a "pre-lawsuit headstock" bump on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Very cool looking bass! I remember trying a Blade a couple of years ago, and although it was only in the shop, sounded like it had a very musical pre-amp.....and I'm a passive fan normally. Good luck!

Stacker Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Sorry to see this isn't shifting, even at that price! I let one go, years back and regretted it, though I did manage to get another one and wouldn't let it go! Never seen the white with black hardware; looks ace!
