FS/T: Ovation Magnum 4

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm feeling saucey. Anyone want a Ovation Magnum 4? It's got some dings, dents (only ones through the paint are on the headstock). Beefy P style neck, 18v 3 band electronics, three way pup selector. Mahogany body, mahogany/graphite neck, ebony fretboard. 34" scale. Not all that light, but not heavy, either. Can go from P thump to Rick sizzle. Versatile, surprisingly. And thanks to the graphite, the neck is stable as a rock.

Comes with OHSC. This bass has been around the block, but it's all mojo wear, and plays great. Obviously, the input jack has been "reinforced" but as such is very solid, and it's missing the battery cover portion of the pickgaurd.

$285 shipped.

Trade is for 4+ strings, with a couple of conditions. 4 stringers must be at least 1.62" (11/16ths) at the nut, 5ers must be greater than 1.75" at the nut. If you have beyond, hit me up, we'll talk. Fretless must have lines.

Other than that, active, passive, scale, fretted/fretless, I'm pretty open.

The "oink" sticker remains, while the truck one has been removed. You can remove as you see fit.







More pics available, just PM.

For the purpose of clarification:

Yes, I did get this bass for $50. You could have too. I was in the right place at the right time.

Fact of the matter is, what I paid for this bass is irrelevant. If you didn't know I got it for $50, would you think my price was out of line? Maybe, but I admit I'm not sure as to how the Mag 4s are priced.

If it bothers you that I'm making a profit on the bass, think of it like this: if you some little old lady sold you a Sadowsky for $100, since all basses are the same thing, and it just wasn't your thing, would you feel obligated to sell it for $100? Or maybe even $700? Or would you (just maybe) maybe ask what the bass is, by all accounts, worth?

Sorry hater, but I'm asking what it's worth, because that's what it's worth; not what I paid for it.

If it greatly offends you, for some cosmic reason, don't make an offer. Let it sit here for months, years, without taker.

For the rest of you; I'm asking $285 shipped w/ OHSC for an rare-ish MIA bass.

Brendan,

I'm with ya bro. Let's say I won a new car and only had to pay $1,000 in taxes on a $25,000 car. Would you and anyone expect me to sell it for $1,000? Hell no... More power to ya man!
