Ok, so the last time I tried to thin the herd, I went from 8 to 12(!) basses... I really need to get back to single digits to keep the little woman happy!!! So, I am offering for your consideration the following FIVE basses for you to peruse and enjoy...
1) *CURRENTLY ON HOLD PENDING PAYMENT* 2010 Made in the good ol' USofA Fender Highway One Precision Bass. Honeyblonde nitro finish with a rosewood neck. Recent additions include a Fender high mass bridge (sorry, no Badass here), and a MIA tort pickguard. Overall condition is excellent; looks like less than ten hours playing time on this instrument. Asking $575 shipped with a Fender Gig Bag to CONUS only.
Specs:
Weight (on the bathroom scale): 8.6 lbs.
Width at nut: 1 5/8"
Width at heel: 2 1/2"
Action: Low to med/low

2) Fender Mike Dirnt MIM P Bass. Butterscotch blonde with a rosewood neck. This 2005 Diamond Anniversary model includes both white and black pickguards, upgrade Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder pickup, and a Badass bridge. Overall condition is very good to excellent with only a couple of finish spots/scuffs as seen in photos. Asking $540 shipped with a Fender Gig Bag and all hang tags and candy to CONUS only.
Specs:
Weight (on the bathroom scale): 9.1 lbs.
Width at nut: 1 5/8"

3) Fender American Standard Jazz bass in 3-tone burst with Custom Shop pickups and a 2005 Diamond Anniversary MIM Standard Jazz rosewood neck. This is a beautiful specimen of a bass; great vintage tone from the bridge pickup with tone half-way up, or bring up both pickups and tone for brilliant slap/pop sound. Body has some wear/ scratches, but nothing that breaks beyond the finish; neck is clean with some mild fretwear. Asking only $675 shipped with a Fender gig bag to CONUS only.
Specs:
Weight (on the bathroom scale): 9.4 lbs.
Width at nut: 1 1/2"
Width at heel: 2 1/2"
Action: low to med/low

4) 1973(?) Epiphone EA-260 hollowbody bass in redburst with bound body and neck. This vintage bass was a project that I resurrected with the help of my genius luthier Greg from World of Strings in Long Beach. He completely re-wired the bass, reconditioned the original witch-hat tuners, fabricated a new bridge, shimmed the neck perfectly for unreal action for a hollowbody bass, and string it with some classic LaBella Flats for that true vintage sound.
Condition of the body is fair, with some player wear, holes from the no-longer-installed pickguard, as well as where the original owner screwed in the bridge (ouch!). The neck is fair as well, with some scratches behind the tenth fret (doesn't affect any of my playing, but most of my stuff is down below the 9th fret). Asking $525 shipped (packed well, but no case) to CONUS only.
Specs:
Weight (on the bathroom scale): Only 6.6 lbs.!!!
Width at nut: 1 1/2"
Width at heel: 2 1/8"
Action: med/low

5) NOT a Fender P/J assembly project in 3-tone burst with a rosewood neck. So... this was my first parts bass; it includes a P/J body, and a rosewood neck with a Fender sticker. It was fun to make, but I'm over the idea of building basses. Condition - functional, but that's about it. Even though the pics show it without strings, the bass currently is sporting some D'Addario XL's. Best parts: the no name tuners feel better than all of my other Fender tuners (go figure), and the Wilkinson Bridge is smooth. I'll be more than happy to sell it whole or in parts. Let's say $150 shipped ***SOLD***!
Specs (as if it matters):
Weight (on the bathroom scale): 9.7 lbs.
Width at nut: 1 5/8"
Width at heel: 2 1/2"
Action: hasn't seen much
Well, that's about it. I'm not desperate for money, just need to keep control of the herd. All of these basses (yeah, including the P/J project) are part of my weekly rotation, so they all get used once every 3-5 weeks. If you have any questions and/or offers feel free to let me know... Cheers!
Let the PM's begin...
