Thanks but NO TRADES!!

Up for sale...my 1998 Fender Roscoe Beck V (5) string bass guitar...Teal Green Metallic with 3-Ply Mint Green pickguard. Comes with the hard case I keep it in. Hasn't left my smoke free home. I've owned it for about 5+ years. Last year, a local guitar luthier did an extensive set-up including level, crowning and polishing the frets. The bass has Curt Mangan strings and are on the lighter side of medium gauge. Everything I've read about this bass is true. The bass is easily in 90%+ condition. Minor flaw is a common one: the white paint on the raised letter on theses original knobs is worn and one knob is missing the cap with the "F" or fender symbol. Normal handling wear shows some fine scratches but no dings or scratches into clear coat to be disclosed with more pictures on request...asking $1350 USD including shipping and insurance in CONUS (Contiguous United States) PayPal preferred to confirmed address only.
Will consider shipping outside USA for additional postage cost.
Regarding weight: I don't have a scale but I've read it weighs10 lbs.
No neck issues. I left adjusting the truss rod to a pro.
Thanks for looking, mike

Bump for the best sounding Fender 5er ever IMHO.

I've had one of these on my watch list for a few years now. That color, fretboard... Everything! I wish I could swing the cash right now. It's beautiful! GLWS

Bump from another RB V owner. I've owned several Fender five-strings and played a lot more. IMO, the Roscoe Beck is the best of the lot.

I've owned 3 and loved them all and wished I could've kept them all.

Can't believe this is still here. If I didn't have two already, I'd be all over it!
