Sacramento CL- Conklin Groove Tools Rocco Prestia? $480

funkytoe · #1 03-23-2009, 05:45 PM

I'm no Conklin expert, but this sure looks like the Conklin that Rocco used to play. Is this one of the very rare Rocco Prestia signature models? Might be a steal for only $480.

Not affiliated. Just passing this on.

Like the bass, really like that case!

Thanks for the heads up! I've been trying to track one of these down for awhile. I've e-mailed the guy so we'll see what happens.

Hmm...that's a steal. I'd take it just to have two, but it sounds like he's not willing to ship.

In a rare freak occurance, one popped up on ebay about a month ago with a BIN of $750. Got snatched up first day.

There's only 30 of these things floating around out there. Super build quality, and with its unique feature set you're basically getting a custom booteek-level bass for cheap money.

That used to be mine (seriously). If I had the cash it would be mine again. The guy is a straight shooter. He told me he'd played it once since I sold it to him a couple years ago. It is pretty much in perfect condition except one small nic on the back of the neck. Somebody give it a good home. It is a production model made in Korea with all HipShot hardware and Bartolini's. It had a very nice Conklin case as well.

Did someone here snag this one?
