*** For Sale: Gibson RD Artist - Black ***

Sign in to disble this ad
SOLD!


This is sort of a repost....I had it up for sale a month ago....or so....then decided to keep it. Well, I'm ready to sell for sure this time.

-The bass is in great functional shape. Zero structural issues, and no cracks or breaks.

-The MOOG board, switches, pots, pickups and electronics in general work as they should.

-The truss works fine, and has plenty of adjustment.

-The is very little wear on the frets, and the fretboard is in good condition.

-The bridge is a Hipshot replacement, and I do not have the original bridge. Full disclosure is that the bass came with a Fender style 5 string bridge. I replaced the bridge mounting studs and installed the Hipshot bridge. So there are a couple screw holes under the bridge. You can see one screw hole that sticks out past the bridge. You can see this clearly in the last picture.

-As you'll see in the pictures, the finish is probably the weak area of this bass. The finish isn't exactly shiny and polished anymore, and there is a wear spot on the back of the bass. It's got it's fair share of blemishes....it's in player's condition. This is all from the previous owner.

-The bass comes with a Fender Gig bag, as I never had a case for it. I will say that it fits in a standard hardcase. I just cut some foam pieces to hold it in place.










$900 shipped to anywhere in the US (48 states anyway).
Without a hardcase, I'm hesitant to ship outside of those areas.

Feel free to ask questions!

Thanks.

Oh man, nice one!

I'd offer trades, but don't think I could even afford to ship a bass at the moment...

I don't have the actual weight....no scales in the house.

It's heavy....at least 10lbs, and maybe a little more......it's not a boat anchor, but it's not an ultra light either.

A little update....I am interested in trades(thank you for the offers), but it would have to be something somewhat rare or vintage....in the same ballpark price range.

Other than basses, I may be interested in bigger tube bass amps......SVT, or something like that......anything Matamp, Electric or vintage Orange too.


I'd prefer an outright sale, but never know what someone has to offer....
