Details

Hi all, I'm looking to sell my Wenge ESP Japan Halibut.
You can find the specs here:

http://www.espguitars.co.jp/original/halibut/halibut.html

There is a slight difference in the specs. The hardware are Gotoh, not Hipshot (They are original from the factory, ESP switched the hardware to Hipshot, around 2 years ago I believe).

This is a Japan only, top of the line ESP production bass model. Solid, high quality ESP custom shop craftsmanship.

A nice, padded ESP gigbag will be included.

The bass is in an excellent, minty condition. Never gigged.

I'm looking for $2200 shipped insured w/ UPS ground anywhere in the continental US (from North Carolina).
I believe it's rare enough to see this bass for sale used, especially outside Japan, much less for this price :D. (I can sell at this price because I got a good deal for it when I acquired it 3 years ago).

Absolutely no trades, sorry. I'm unloading because I will be making a big move to another country this year.

I have an ebay account with the same user id with 60+ 100% feedback, if you would like to verify.

Any questions, requests for more pictures, just let me know.

Thanks for looking. Click on the pictures for bigger versions.

Whoa, cool and unusual bass ... those look like the "Fodera" Duncan pickups, first bass I've seen with those.

Nice looking bass. I've never seen one of those. The headstock is cut perfectly for 5 strings. Nobody ever seems to pay enough attention to that unbalanced look. Good luck with sale.:bassist:

Wow! This bass is one of the best level of ESP's products. It's very suitable for the heavy metal bassist.

Chillax Hitsugi, Ray has a solid point...the seller has not been active on this board at all since 8/25/09. You'd probably have better luck reaching him by shouting out your window.

No, seriously. Thanks so much! You both have helped a lot. I should've addressed the question to both of you instead of Gamelan, hehe! I really appreciate it! :) Such a helpful, useful forum!

Hey! Welcome to the forums, Hitsugi.
We really appreciate guys like you here... seriously.
You are great and I can't wait to hear more from you in the future.
Seriously!

You... DA MAN! ;)
:hyper:
 
One would think that with a thread so old....you might have checked the OP's profile to see the last time there was any activity before bumping a thread from 2009. But thats just me. Then give the rest of us sarcastic answers for pointing out the obvious.
Not to mention your helping bump other threads off the front page from those who are actually actively trying to sell their stuff here in 2011 :smug:.

This is my first forum. I didn't know that my question was going to cause everyone such distress. Just saw that someone was selling a bass I was interested in and wanted to find out if it was still available. Then I get all these smart-ass responses from people who are well-versed in how these forums work. Now I know to stay away from forums. Thanks guys.

Forums are good, no need to stay away, there are a lot of great people and lots of outstanding information on this forum.

Don't let the forum police bug you as they can only put you in virtual jail. No cyber, hard time here on TalkBass.

Seriously, welcome to TB, it's a great forum.
