Here's one out of Baltimore. I especially like the line where "part of the spring on the e string saddle is missing..." Not the whole spring is missing... Just part of it. The picture shows it broken in half. The guy is too lazy or too stupid to replace it... The tag line at the end is cute too...

2000 American Deluxe P-Bass.

I love this bass and am hesitant to get rid of it which is why I'm only offering it for select trades or too much cash.

It is in the condition you'd expect a bass that has been played for 10 years to be in. There are some dings on the neck and some minor ware on the body. some of the screws on the bass are a little rusted. part of the spring on the e string saddle is missing. its also missing the chrome cover for the volume pot. none of this affects playability in anyway. I got this bass used which is why it's in this condition. i've played a lot of this bass over the past two years and I assure you there are no problems with its sound or playability. it is in better condition than you;d think from my description, i'm trying trying to give full disclosure.

will include fender licensed strap locks. NO CASE.

this bass was previously for sale but after consideration I decided to only trade for it. If you want to pay cash, make an offer but be advised I'll probably refuse it unless it's unreasonably high. These basses, with the H in the bridge position, are discontinued and listed for over $2200.

I prefer trades so make an offer. Here is what I'm looking for: (I will accept lesser value basses plus cash but will not offer cash in addition to my bass) : 5 string basses, preferred 35" or + scale length... fender american, musicman (only with hh or hs pickup config.), thunderbird style basses +cash , other high quality basses (modulus, zon, pedulla, lakland, warwick (NO ROCKBASS), carvin custom, etc), (semi) hollowbody basses, high end amps, prefer ultra light (euphonic audio, markbass, GK, ampeg, thunderfunk), high end power amps + cash (crown, QSC), vintage instruments, mint condition vintage rigs (acoustic, sunn, ampeg), effects plus anything listed above

I think it's pretty clear what quality i'm looking for so if you have a reasonable offer to make, please contact me.

This is for local pickup only. if serious, email for more pics.

I'd like to offer an advanced, go **** yourself, to whoever will undoubtedly feel the need to tell me my bass isn't worth what i'm asking for. if you don't think what im asking for is reasonable, don't make an offer. good luck finding a bass this quality, in playable condition, for the same price.
