FS rare ESP BTL-STD 5str

[andysvec]

looking to sell my ESP, got it straight from Japan in 2008, not something you can find easily (if not at all stateside). Sells in the 3k range and looks badass! Had it up for trade last year and chickened out, but see another bass in the ads that I'd like to get.

PMs replied to. Again, this time it is a sale only, please don't tempt me with more trades

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember seeing one of these awhile back! it is stunning!

[stflbn]

Pretty stealthy bass. Right up there with a stealth bongo IMHO.

[lakin757]

I STILL want this stinkin thing. WHY can't I have it?

It seems like this bass maybe the best answer ever to "what is the best bass for metal"!

[perfektspace6]

Damn I love this bass. Nothing like a MIJ "real" ESP. Reminds me of an old Horizon 5 I had.

[andysvec]

time for a bump, still have it and would sell it but don't mind holding on to it.

FS only, but feel free to tempt me with trade ideas, I'm a sucker for 70s Ps or light 5ers

[andysvec]

Still have this one and decided to once again possibly move it with a new trade idea.

I would love to trade this for an older SVT head, or maybe a B-15? I have a freight forwarder in Los Angeles for my work so shipping for you would only be to there.

[andysvec]

so I purchased a Status Stealth here on an impulse buy, and now I really need to move some gear.

Haven't tried too hard to move this one since I posted it as I still dig it, but it's not getting used and time to go.

$1500 firm shipped USPS priority mail to any USA address. International I'm sure we can work something out

nice murder weapon

[andysvec]

bump

Since I sold some other of my basses locally I'll listen to trade offers in the same value range for this one

This is a real 'made in Japan' ESP, not an LTD, have you seen what these sell for new online? Here's one example

ESP BTL-STD 5 Five String Bass

$3,595.00 AUD = $3,899.09 USD

not to mention the rarity of it - import only model, not available in the USA

I think $1500 (less than half of street price) is more than a fair price, especially in this condition

[andysvec]

bump for this beauty.

think I might make a new thread as I'm not so pressed for cash right now and wouldn't mind doing a trade, TB bass trades for me have always worked out great for both of us.

I'm open to anything around the same value, this bass regularly sells online over $3000 but I was asking $1500.

lately I've been gassing for 70's P Basses, in this price range I don't expect all original but a player

[onlydead]

ok 1500 better...it's price of new basses of Standart series .

dude, I don't know what you are referring to, maybe the LTD series because I can't find this real MIJ ESP model that I'm selling anywhere online for under three grand.

anyway, moot point as there is a trade deal pending on this for a late 70s Fender, so officially on hold and off the market.
