|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: Auburn, AL | | As the title says, I'm looking to part with my trusty Hoppus bass. It served as a huge learning instrument in my teens, and was only gigged maybe twice. She's in absolute mint condition except for two small details: 1) There are a couple of minute dings on the arm-rest area of the body, with one indented through the paint (about the size of a BB) It's almost undetectable unless you're looking for it. The others shouldn't even be mentioned; we're talking maybe a fingernail indention. 2) There is a bit of rusting of the heads of the top pickguard screws, certainly from a little palm sweat.
I'll let the pictures tell the story, but this thing's in AWESOME shape. Really, if you aren't inspecting it it looks mint.
She was always stored either in a HSC or a Hercules stand, and well taken care for. I just had it set up at the local guitar shop (Auburn Guitar Shoppe, Auburn, AL) and it plays great. The new Ernie Ball Super Slinkys have all of 30 minutes of play on them.
I'm asking $500 plus shipping CONUS PayPal'd OBO. It will be well packed and shipped insured in an original Fender gig bag, as I am the original owner of the bass. It was purchased direct from Musician's Friend. Forgive the cell phone pics, that's the only camera I have access to! The paint really stands out in person. Great gloss, smooth neck.
The only trade considered would be a Fender P-bass of preferably the same or greater value, sunburst a big plus, unless you are wanting to hook me up or have a Q5. 
Thanks for looking, and cheers!

I'm sittin' here thinking about this more and more.... damn you sentimental value.... I really am looking for cash, that's why she's up here, but if you have an interesting trade, especially a 5'er, I'll listen.
Let's say I'm 90% lookin' for cash, 10% gotta-have-that trade bait.
Consider this my daily bump!
