So I'm asking high prices.....very rare beasts so if someone really wants one, I'll sell at my price.
First is a rare Ibanez RB920 with nice binding and Birdseye top.
450$ shipped
Second is an equally rare Peavey foundation fretless in natural Mahogany 350$ shipped (I have never seen another and can't find one on the interweb)
Third is a Vantage VS600B 32" medium scale bass. 200$ shipped.

Cheers!!

there may be more interest if you post pics. I'd like to see that Ibanez

I'd like to see the FRETLESS FOUNDATION. It sounds interesting.

Ok...I'm at work but I'll post pics when I get home. If I hadn't just got my '66 P/J I would never sell the Ibanez. It has a really unique sound. I just can't justify keeping so many basses I never play.

oh wow. that Vantage series was the best bang for the buck at the time. Made in Japan. What color is it?

All these basses are great basses for the money. The Ibanez and Peavey are 2 of the nicest basses I have ever played/owned. I just love my '66 P and can't see myself ever playing these. The peavey has a series of dings on the back and the neck finish is worn/sanded off. Its hard to show in the pics, but it plays beautifully. I honestly can't see why you would pay more for a fretless. The vantage is missing a bridge saddle. None of these basses are pristine and they all have a few dings here and there.

What's the weight of the RB920? The Foundation, does it have an FL designation on the peghead or could it possibly be a super defret? Cool Axes!

The Ibanez and Vantage are around 9 lbs..the Peavey is around 8. This is using a really crappy bathroom scale. The Peavey has no FL so it could be a custom job. I can't get it to show up in pics, but the way the back of the neck is worn, it does look like a custom job.
The fret markers appear to be white plastic if that helps. It sure looks professional if its after market. I hope the Ibanez sells so I can keep the Peavey even tho I don't really play fretless.

Bump....I decided I'm keeping the Peavey. I'll do 400$ shipped on the Ibanez.

That Ibanez is hot! Wish I had the funds for it. If it lingers... I may!
GLWTS, bump for a great guy!

Thanks Rojo..its really one of a kind. Almost Stingray sounding and the switch gives three very useable tones. I just can't put down my '66 P/J

Their Roadstar basses are incredible and that dual pickup really does sound fantastic. The spacing and functionality does put it in "Stingray territory," that's for sure.
That particular bass could even be thought of as a "Pre-ATK". And it just looks so freaking cool!
You've got me scratching my chin and my wallet...

Wow, that Vantage is almost identical to my first ever bass.
