The Osborne is SOLD
1st up is a Limited edition Dudepit Lakland Skyline Joe Osborn 4/ J-Retro. In 2000, there were a limited run of 23 LE Skyline Osborns done for DudePit with j-retro preamps, Lindy Fralins, a sheerwood green finish w/matching headstock and mint green fret markers and pickguard. The actual bass options were selected by online voting and discussion among the members of the old Dudepit forum. This particular bass has served me well and is in excellent conditon with -no dings, nicks or dents. Some light player wear on finish and pickguard. Soundwise, this one will go toe to toe w/any US Osborne and most likely smoke it. It has a rather hefty ash body at 10.6 lbs bathrooom scale, but the tone is beyond and the sustain last for days. This one ships in a G&G case in good shape, and is wearing a fairly new set of R. Cocco Nickels. $1275 shipped/Paypal CONUS.

It d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y pains me to sell either, let alone both of these basses, but two once in a lifetime GAS purchases have struck me in one week! Absolutely no hurry, nor need to sell, just putting out the feelers for any buyer interest to thin down my growing herd.
