FS Feeler: Fender Victor Bailey 5-string in VG+ condition

dcr · #1 12-31-2009, 01:00 PM

*****EDIT: Fender Victor Bailey 5-string up FOR SALE OR TRADE***** Koa top, Mahogany back, Pao fretboard with Abalone dots, gold hardware, special 3-band preamp, chocolate case, and a great modern Fender sound! Oh, and I added gold Dunlop straplocks, too. Shallers also included.

Bass is in great shape with all case candy. I'd call it 9.5/10 and mostly for some swirling on the face that you can't see except at the right angle under the light. No fret wear, no dings that I can find. Just pretty much like new.

Bought this a couple months ago, but I'm just not feeling the love. Okay, actually, I'm feeling GAS even more than love. Something's come up here I gotta have, and already have approval from the spousal unit to get it. But I'd rather buy outright than have to finance another bass, so something's gotta give.

Here's the thread where I got it ($1250): Pristine Fender Victor Bailey 5 FS/FT

here's what MF wants for a new one ($2400.00): http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend....ass?sku=511957

My price: $1185 SHIPPED CONUS I'll post pix when I can, but lomo's pix are certainly representative. It hasn't been outta the house since I've owned it, and I haven't played it more than maybe 10 hours max.

As far as trades go, I'm really looking to trade this one down and get some cash back. Five-strings only, prefer less than 35" scale, and No Warwicks!

Any interest? Thanks and lemme know!

The ONLY four-string trade I'm even VAGUELY INTERESTED in is a Kawai FIIB.

Thanks!

Eh, wish I could but I've got 3 P/Js already.

Likely the last pre-eBay bump!

Gone to da 'Bay! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=130359456851

I'll consider closing the auction for TBers with great feedback in order to sell here, so if you're interested, hit me up for a few days yet.

No longer interested in trades much, but I will at least consider those that net me at least $650-750. Five-string only offers please...unless it's a Kawai FIIB.

Thanks!
