Basses you hardly ever see for sale

BTW, my first Wal cost me £50 (not a typo), when I bought it second-hand, as the guy selling it loathed it with a passion!

It made my day! 😂

1. Washburn Status with unlined fretless neck - I know they exist but I have never seen one for sale or in the flesh.

 

2. ESP 400 Series 62RI Jazz Bass - This is the mid to late 80's model made in the Fender Japan factory and has the Fender shape headstock. I have one and it's the best Jazz bass I've played. Only ever seen one for sale in the past.

 

3. Fender Japan 51 Reissue in Yellow - These were first released around the mid 90's and they came in Sunburst and Yellow only. I have only ever seen two in the yellow, one I owned which I stupidly sold and the other someone owned on here. Fender later did a re-release and replaced the yellow with Butterscotch Blonde.

A Callowhill. Especially a Callowhill MPB.

Would absolutely love one

I bought a Washburn Status (fretted) new when they came out; it was OK, but not great.

It went when I bought a real Status Graphite (which was in a totally different league!).
