SX SPB-57 Old headstock P. Local Only (Portland)

Muddslide · #1 11-11-2011, 07:44 AM

Everything is here, but it has no strings. In good shape except that there is some finish crazing/cracking along the butt end (around the strap pin.) I will try to take pictures of this and post them a little later.

POSSIBLE TRADE for a nice little light practice amp IF we could do a local swap (I live in SE Portland.)

Asking $100. I originally had this listed as local sale only, but I am willing to sell it to any buyer in the lower 48. However, buyer pays actual shipping and I can only ship if I detatch the neck.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

I had one of these. I liked it so much I got a Fender 50's RI P. Great bass.

Yeah, I love the neck. I'd love to hang onto it but it would be my third bass (all Ps!) and I just can't really justify keeping it.

My long-time plan was to refinish it. I used to do rattle can refins all the time, but even though it would be a fun project I just don't know when I'll have the time or money to do it.

Local only? If you decide to ship, PM me a price to zip 45211.

I'm sorry about the local only thing. Kind of embroiled in a family emergency right now. Besides, the last bass I sold was a complete nightmare to ship. Between packing materials and shipping I probably spent $100 or more to ship it. On top of that, UPS refused to ship it because it didn't have a case. Eventually I packed it myself really well and took it to a different UPS store to ship it. It arrived without incident but I really just need to offload this ASAP. Really sorry. I know it's frustrating. I don't like it when I see something I want at a great price but can't get it just because I don't live in the right region...

Sorry to hear it's for a family emergency! If you unbolt the neck from the body, you can ship it in a much smaller box which saves a bunch on shipping! Just an FYI. Good luck with the sale and again, if you change your mind, let me know!

True. My last buyer didn't want me to do that, but the thought has definitely crossed my mind. It's more a problem of being time-sensitive. Thanks though. If it isn't gone by this weekend, maybe you and I could work out something.

That's usually because they don't know how to use a screwdriver, the most rudimentary of all tools. LOL

Well, we can sure talk if I still have it after the weekend. I appreciate the interest!

Good Monday Morning to all...

Humpy Day Bump!

PS-- At this point I am willing to sell to anyone in the lower 48 but buyer will have to pay actual shipping and I will only be able to ship if I detatch the neck.

I'm close to just keeping it and doing a refinish and some mods to it, but I really don't need a third P.

Muddslide · #15 11-17-2011, 03:38 PM

Dang...gonna try it a couple more days then I guess I'll just have some fun with it.

Anyone wanna trade a small, lightweight (10-15W) practice amp for this bass?

Muddslide · #16 11-18-2011, 09:58 PM

Try the night crowd.

Happy Weekend Everybody!
