FS: 2006 SX Essex 57P sunburst with old headstock!

Just in time for the holidays!









SX 57P copy made in 2006, sunburst with the original cool headstock and not that lame headstock they use now. This is a very solid bass that plays well with low action and great tone. It even won an audio shootout I did on here a few years back vs. a 1979 Fender Precision by a 2-1 margin. I've used this bass onstage many times, and it's always been a solid performer. Stays in tune, plays and sounds great, electronics work perfectly. I won't say it'll make you forget your favorite $2000 bass, but it's a worthy backup IMHO.

I've given it a couple slight mods. I replaced the string retainer with a Fender, the frets have been leveled, and i painted the pickguard to make it look more like gold anodized. The original pickguard color is white, and I can leave it on or remove it at your discretion. Everything else is stock. It's in excellent condition, no dings, only light surface scratching from normal use, and a few deeper belt buckle scratches by the neckplate, but nothing that goes through to the wood.

$125 cash, local pickup only in Central Florida area (EDIT: I'll be in Clearwater on Friday if anyone in the greater Tampa Bay area is interested). Sorry, but I'd prefer not to ship at this point.

Thanks for looking!

If you decide to ship, can I be first in line?

Actually, I know some people in Orlando...I may try and work something out with them.

there's one guy ahead of you dave, but you can be second in line. But if you can work it out with the folks in Orlando, you'll move up ahead
