FS/FT Levinson Blade B2

PatO · #1 03-16-2010, 11:23 AM

According to the fine folks with Levinson, this is a 1994 former Blade B-2 with updated electronics. Its been my backup to my backup for a long while and now that there are other basses I've got my eyes on its time for it to go.

I asked around about the value of this bass (see this post: what are these worth? ) and have decided to list it for ~~$1300~~$900 shipped to CONUS, ~~$1250~~ $900plus shipping for international. (or best offer)

The bass was upgraded with active EMG pickups and given a Badass II bridge. These were both done before I got the bass. It has been played, but is in fantastic condition. The volume knob has some finger wear, and the first J pickup has some finger wear, but neither effect playability. I have it strung with flats, and it sounds amazing.

Mostly interested in a straight sale, but a Kubicki would make for some fine trade bait.

I can take more pics, let me know what you'd like to see and I'll put them on here.

here is some updated info from the fine folks at Blade Guitars:
"Yes this is a former BLADE B-2 bass with the older electronics. It was made in 1994.
The bridge and pickups have been changed.

The price of the instrument in Switzerland today is CHF 2495."

so.. with the exchange rates that would come out to around $2300 US dollars, and I'm selling for about half that... who wants it?

so, last night there was a plumbing breakdown at my home. Due to that I need to raise some cash quick and will entertain any and all reasonable offers on this bass. This could be a great deal on a great bass for someone who wants to play it.

if you think you'll have money in the relative near future I can put a hold on this for you (and we can negotiate on the cost, since you're the one that tipped me in the right direction on researching this bass)

I'm afraid it doesn't seem like that...

Bump the Blade, great basses

PatO · #14 06-04-2010, 06:24 AM

this blade is still available and headed over to ebay this afternoon... I'd much prefer to be selling it to a TBer.

after a few unsuccessful attempts on ebay I'm bumping this one back up. Make an offer.....

my dog needs eyes surgery and this will hopefully help pay for it.
