stewblack Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Good luck with the sale. What a crying shame to part with such a lovely bass. Mine is still the one I'd save from the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Jones Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It's an SB Elite II. I have one in the same colour. They're not active, but have by far the most versatile passive set-up I've found. The neck is a corker. The two switches are coil taps, or have a similar effect... GL with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassworm Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks for all the positive comments, it's a real shame to have to sell it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're putting anything else up for sale give me first refusal by mail before you throw it on the 'bay. Dammit man, if circumstances change you can always buy them back at cost from me coz I know how much some of these have meant to you over the years!!

BassBod Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm not usually interested in 80s Japan stuff - but that is very nice, and so 80's! Good luck - hope you get a good sale BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 [quote name='Bassworm' post='208141' date='May 28 2008, 03:53 PM']Heh, 56 of the buggers now.[/quote] There are different reasons for watching. Sometimes I watch am item if I'm considering selling something similar, sometimes I'm just curious as to what an item will fetch, occasionally I'm going to bid later but forget cos I don't visit eBay for days! And if I do bid on an item, I leave it until the last 5 minutes of an auction, otherwise you could just be inflating the price getting into a bidding war. My philosophy is don't give people time to think about whether they want to go higher than their original maximum! Aria Pro II - I knew a guy who was a hot bass player and he absolutely loved his APII, and I have a really old guitar APII which I would never part with. They are very good instruments.

I'm just feeling a tad anxious because I sold a great Overwater recently and out of thirty-odd watchers, only one bid was made.
