LukeFRC Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 [quote name='CPBassman' timestamp='1337202070' post='1657184'] John always seems to have the basses that are just that little bit out of the norm yet incredibly desirable. ive been floored by both his current offerings. Have a bump just for the 'porn' value. This Parker is possibly the nicest bass ive seen in many moons! Col [/quote] If it helps John is a gentleman and great to buy/sell with. I think you should buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No price as I'm basically looking for trades. You probably know from experience that when you put a realistic cash 'buy me' value on something people then come in with their "my bass cost £[same value as cash price] new so I'll do you a swap".

Eljay Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 From the moment the Parker FLY came out I was enthralled. Insanely cool basses, and US-Made Parkers are custom-shop quality all the way. I've never seen a 'burst one like yours; they were here in Red and a natural quilt IIRC, but obviously other finishes were done. THAT is a killer bass. 2X, I've seen US Fly's come up for sale on E-Bay, rarely from a private party as there weren't many built, and owners prolly hang on to 'em. My understanding is Parker had issues with the first runs, then fixed that, and there life-span was brief, before they went offshore, which tho playble, are no where near the US-made lots. Now, they intro'd the Maxx Fly, but that's gonna be a rare bird at the cost etc. I'd love that bass, it'd rock like a mutha, I know all about it. Can't imagine how an overseas trade might work, plus although I have some MAJOR killer basses (23) all fretted-fours- each one is "my wife" all different all awesome. If you wind up "having to" hold onto that bass- You'll be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
