Got her all done this morning! Plays good and sounds good!! Yeah I was planning to resell it but I got no case, gig bag or cardboard box to ship it in ATM

Found this in a pawnshop this morning and bought it for $120. Got home plugged it in and nothing, put a new 9volt in and nothing. The 32 year old preamp looked like it had a few too many brewskis spilled on it during its hair band hay days! Decided rather than mess with it I would just throw in...

I think this is something that only the first year of production models had in common? Also I believe these early models had smaller frets (later models have medium jumbo)

Sorry I meant F*book marketplace

Yeah I think this is the 1st year of production for this model? These Japanese necks are definitely on par w/USA IMO

SO now that I've played it for a couple of hours I am starting to develop a bit of a crush on it, could be love? All I know is this thing is a real gem might end up keepin her, especially since I don't have any other Bass's at the moment. Been playing guitars lately... Also I am pretty sure its...

Whats wrong with flipping?

Nicest strap I've ever come across! Little over 3" wide and padded. reeks of leather -nice bonus!

So I saw this on marketplace this morning for $550 w/Rumble 100 amp I asked how much for just the Bass and they replied $300 and I pounced According to the serial # its a 2002-2004 CIJ and its in mint condition Seller said the pickups were upgraded long ago, didn't remember what kind Came with...

I recently picked up a Jackson Minion Bass with a 28.6" scale length and I love it! Sold all my longer scale basses and will probably buy a couple more Minions for backups since they are dirt cheap at $179 + free ship. Its small light and sounds killer, plus comfortable to play

That sums this whole thing up perfectly! I have an import acoustic that I paid $350 for new and then I paid $150 for a case so I am into it for $500. Is it worth $475 today? Hell no! is it worth $350? Nope. I am going to be lucky to get $225-250 for it because that is fair market value. The...

I am not "perturbed" but perplexed would be more accurate.

Bottom line is hes asking $575 for a Chinese import Bass that he admits he paid $600 for a decade ago, that doesn't make sense to me. How could it possibly have retained 98% of its new price? Oh well I was prepared to make him a decent/fair offer but apparently hes not interested in fair offers

Also said "the price is FIRM" and that hes getting lots of calls

Seller informed that he bought it 9 years ago for $325 and $275 for case +$106 for a setup (setup was done 9 years ago lol) so I guess he thinks that these Chinese basses really hold there value
