Wanted: 80s style bass

[uk_lefty]

I know this is not the wanted section but being left-handed is a bit niche so... I've started up an 80s band, but this time it's going to last! So, I'm on the lookout for an 80s style bass: Status, Washburn Status, Aria SB, Ibanez Musician or something similar... If anyone has anything they are considering selling, or knows of something up for sale somewhere please let me know!

For the minor sum of only 2500 GBP you can be the owner of that lush Ibanez MC924 in the for sale section

Yeah, it's a fine looking bass but that's brand new Status money so.........

How about the Steinberger Spirit  XT2? Nothing more eighties than a Steinberger, and pretty cheap.

Spector. 

 

Job done. 

Next, please!

And I have one for sale, in case that's what you're after @uk_lefty

Yeah I had the Hohner quite a few years back... I am hoping for an Aria SB to appear for the right price or even an old headless Status

I've been considering selling my Status S2 Classic 4-string because I only ever play my 5-string ever since adding that to the herd, but I'm still undecided. It would not be an easy bass to replace if I ever come to regret it. And with the whole B-word stuff it would end up more expensive too. I need to buy another car and need to free up some funds, but it's hard to decide what I want to let go.
