Hey guys,

So I never thought I'd part with this bass, but quite frankly it doesn't see much use since I can only take one bass up to college with me at a time. As such, I figured it was about time to pass this wonderful instrument on to someone who could find more consistent use for it.

The bass is definitely a player and it shows signs of normal wear and tear that most instruments do. That said, it definitely doesn't looked abused (and it never was). It's currently strung with a set of Pyramid Golds (flats) which cost $70+ new. They definitely make this bass come alive and give off a great McCartney/old school vibe and thump.

If there's one downside to this bass it's that it has some bad neck dive. You definitely have to keep a hand on the neck, but this isn't bad since the bass weighs almost nothing.

Price:$230 shipped. Sorry, no international.

















Thanks!
James M.

I'll give a free bump for this. I have one, and it is a strong and durable player in many kinds of situations. I prefer D'Addario medium scale rounds myself, and it has no problem cutting through the mix (even in a 10-piece band). One little note: I had the old version ($469) and the newer is definitly nicer (example: pearloid inlays on the backs of the tuning keys and what I perceive as a greatly imncreaed output). A nice bass, and tougher than it looks.

You have a PM on the Epi -
barring it's not trashed (Which I'm sure it's not, but you know - no pics no bass), I'll take it
