    Basses that used to be cheap and have now gone WAY up in price.

    My first bass was a Kawai FIIB 4 string with zebrawood veneer. Got it for $150 in a pawn shop in 1993. Now, you can't touch one for $800-1000. I sold it a couple of years after buying it for $75. Still kicking myself for that one...

    Yes, that's correct. I completely forgot to include that in the listing. I'll correct that right now...

    Ibanez musician mc2924 value

    So, I'm thinking about selling my Ibanez musician mc2924. It's in great shape, all original, sounds like a champ, and is oh so gorgeous. That having been said, I need to thin out the herd a bit, so I've decided to part ways with this lovely bit of Japanese craftsmanship. Thing is, I don't know...

    Help wiring up an old Ibanez Musician MC 2924 for passive use

    I realize this is an old post, but I have an MC 2924 that I just got, but one is dead, so if you're willing to sell the stock pups from yours when you put new ones in, I'll buy them. Let me know!

    Ouch! I also had a really great Laney linebacker combo, 65w, 15" speaker. Sounded really great, but to this day, I've never been able to find anything like it, even online. Ah, to lament the gear we lost when we were young and stupid!

    Recent pawn shop treasure

    It's in really great shape, and I haven't had a neck through since my first (which I sold in '96), but I had no idea of how fortunate I was to get this, especially for that price. Funny thing was that I bought an Ibanez SRX-505, just to have a 5 string (never had one before). I decided I didn't...

    Thanks for the info! I love knowing where my gear has been. Cool name, btw. I just scored a Spector Legend 4 in holoflash black for $50. Generally, the gear I buy has been there forever, and they're willing to discount it just to get rid of it.

    Thanks. I'm just broke, that's why I rake the pawn shops so much. Just something I learned to do and have been doing since I was a kid. Maybe I'm just lucky. My first bad was a Kawai FIIB that my mother bought for $75 out of a pawn shop. Fool that I was, I sold it for $75 (don't judge, I was 18...

    Thanks for the info, I'm glad I got the newer version, honestly. I heard this is the model and body style that all soundgears are based on. I have no idea where to look for info on that kind of stuff (save Google). What're your opinions on my Trace Elliot amp?

    Thanks, guys! I'm still looking for info on the Trace Elliot, if anyone knows anything about them. Also, if anyone knows where to find an Aria Pro II Avante AVB-40 (4 string) in transparent green, I'm awful on the hunt. I have a couple in natural and black, but I want to replace one that was...

    I'm kinda dorky and scour pawn shops and local postings for deals. I also got a pre-Gibson Trace Elliot (hand written serial, hand built, etc) a few months ago for $150.

    Forgot the pics! And the serial number is L850880. If anyone can give me some info about it (history, original price, current value, etc.), I'd be extremely grateful.
