FT: Parker Select Series Fly Artist

Looking to trade my mint Parker Select Series Fly Artist. This is the high end model, not more commonly found lower end series. I pay $2800 a couple of years ago. It spent most of it life in its case.

Even though I paid $2800, they are going for around $1500 on eBay.

As for trades, I am looking for bass guitars in the $1500 range. I am happy with unmolested vintage basses. I am also interested in modern basses from quality manufacturers. I am not interested in cheap modified basses. Custom basses from luthiers may be considered, but info on the luthier must be readily available. I would also love a German Hofner violin / club bass.

Other non-Bass trades would be mint Ampeg SVT-CL or other all tube bass amps, with you paying the mega shipping. Quality watches will also be considered, but will need more trade value since that market is very soft.

Hit me up, the worst you response that you will get is a polite "no thank you".

From the Parker Website: http://www.parkerguitars.com/Fly-Select-Guitar-Models/

Parker Fly Select models are built by our best craftsmen who are specifically trained in the skills required to make this exceptional model. Each has a unique feature set, making these some of the most exclusive guitars available anywhere.

All Fly Select Series guitar bodies are cut from a solid piece of Sitka Spruce which has been carefully selected and examined by Parkers’ expert staff. Sitka Spruce, typically known for its’ ringing highs and warm lows, makes it a popular choice for acoustic guitars. Recognizing the potential tone Sitka Spruce could produce if used to make a traditional electric guitar resulted in a ground-breaking, ingenious guitar series.

The Fly Artist was developed to create a thicker, warmer, more complex voice with gigantic bottom end and luscious crush. Truly in a class by itself the Fly Artist is the ideal choice for the musician who demands extraordinary tone.

Features:

- Carved Sitka Spruce body with Basswood neck
- Parker custom-cast aluminum vibrato bridge, stainless steel saddles
- Seymour Duncan custom wound pickups
- 3-way mag pickup selection with push-pull coil tap
- Graph Tech™ ghost® piezo saddles with Acousti-phonic Modular Pre-amp
- Midi upgradable
- Custom Parker vibrato system
- Approx. 5 lbs

Still looking for the right trade. I am also a sucker for Fender AVRI basses or Gibson Thunderbirds

Mods - If I am in the wrong section, feel free to move it

You are - guitars are normally sold in the Other-Stuff-Not-Bass-Related section. I'm not a mod, so I won't be moving this...

I have a NiteFly M that was the personal guitar of one of the Parker sales bigwigs. The thing sings, plays flawlessly every time, and has a great variety of tones available. Parker guitars are great stuff!

Final bump. If no interest, I will sit on it for awhile. I am also interested in higher end or vintage Telecasters.

Ok, I have sent you e-mail and we have agreed the price. So, I'm buying this Parker Fly Artist.
