I bought this in a moment of nostalgia--it's the same model I first started on in high school--but I really need to prune my collection and can't justify keeping this one!
It's a bit banged up and not going to win a lot of beauty contests, but it is fine structurally and plays good and sounds good--lots of nice fundamental oomph--and I'll throw in a decent case all for the low low price of
$200 shipped in the lower 48, $150 local pickup in nyc.

Weight will be tougher to measure--I don't have a scale. I'm a good judge of weight though and will investigate next time I see it. It's certainly not a boat-anchor, maybe 9lbs or less?

BTW, I call my cat, Nostrils, *kittyboy* sometimes. He doesn't play bass, though.
