Price reduced to $1,100 shipped. Ibanez made many models during the lawsuit era, and this one represents the pinnacle of their art. It's a super rare, neck through version of a well known design, lovingly recreated in every detail. Their catalog from the period states that the body is curly...

Life changes find me selling off some of my best loved basses, and this is the crown jewel. This 1970 Guild Starfire II is in remarkable condition. Aside from some very light and hard to photograph worming on the back and a couple of finish marks, the bass is in pristine condition. It features...

Price reduced to $900 shipped! A new job and city requires selling my house - along with many of my best loved basses. This is the first of several Ibanez "lawsuits" that I'm putting up. This '75 copy of a Gibson Explorer bass was made during the peak of Japan's golden era, rivaling American...

I have recently changed jobs and cities - as part of our move, my wife has mandated that I sell off some babies. This is Bluesman Vintage's take on the classic jazz bass in it's a beauty. I think John Scott and his team do the most tasteful relic jobs of any builder, and the bass is perfectly...

A job change and move are forcing me to thin the herd - even the ones I swore I'd never part with. So up for sale is a much loved bass with a bit of history. This is a mid-70's Hagstrom Swede with Hammon Dark Stars. Fred Hammon did the pickup installation on this one - he did offer that service...

This is a Creation Audio Labs Redeemer clean buffer circuit. The story is, I bought a Bluesman Vintage bass used, and the previous owner had removed this, but was nice enough to send it with the bass. Flash forward to now, I'm doing some gear cleanup and reduction and came across it. With an...

Curtis Novak calls this a, "Split coil humcanceled design in Tele Bass bobbin." I bought it for a project and no longer need it. $145 list. Yours for $70.

I'm listing 4 basses tonight, and this one's the toughest to part with. A lot of folks think these older Nash basses are superior to the new ones. I don't know about but I will say this one looks awesome with the charcoal frost, relic'd finish and mint pickguard. And the Lollar pickup sounds...

This is a thunderous, player's EB-0. I got it 20 years ago at Chicago Music Exchange - but it clearly had many adventures in the 30 years before that. I think I paid $400 back then - due to a partial headstock crack and a neck reset that have both been rock solid for the last 20 years. I had...

I just succumbed to GAS, and need to sell a few of my basses to make room. This is (I believe) a 1994 Aerodyne Jazz. It's the true Japanese version with no pickguard. Looks-wise, it's a sexy beast with the highly reflective black finish dot-free fretboard and cream binding. It plays like...

For sale, to pay for a recent GAS attack: Beautiful Pelham Blue Midtown bass in excellent condition. Stock pickups have been replaced with a Curtis Novak EB-BS neck pickup (essentially a Bisonic/Darkstar in a mudbucker form factor,) and Curtis Novak EB bridge replacement pickup. The sonic...

No, it's not a trick question. I'm getting the pickups rewound on my mid-70's Ibanez Explorer copy. When I pulled them out, I found some cool and unexpected characters (I assume Japanese since the bass was made there...) painted into the cavities. I would love to know what these say. Anybody?

The plastic strap pin on the bottom of my 1970 Guild Starfire has come loose (as in "out"). I figure that I need to glue it back in, but want to make sure that I'm using a glue that will break free if necessary somewhere down the line. The bass is otherwise near mint and all original and I'd...

This is a legendary Traynor combo amp from 1969. All hand wired, point to point. Sounds like a cross between a Deluxe Reverb and Marshall Plexi. See full description here. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Would prefer a local sale (Twin Cities area) but would consider shipping with buyer...

This is a Gibson TB Plus ceramic humbucker from my 2013 Midtown Standard bass. Selling because I put a Curtis Novak EB-BS in it's place. Sorry, no cover as that's in use by the Novak. $22 shipped. It's a decent sounding pickup with no issues. I'm also selling the TB mini that was at the...

This is a TB mini humbucker out of the bridge position of my 2013 Gibson Midtown (Standard) bass. Fully functional, as new and no issues. Simply selling because I replaced it with a Curtis Novak. $28 bucks shipped. I've also listed the TB Plus ceramic that was in the neck position.

I just want to gauge interest before committing to a sale. 1974 P-bass. Black with white pickguard and maple neck. I've owned this since 1979 and it was my #1 bass for years. Stopped gigging with it when I got married (early 80's) and it's been more or less retired since. I was into short...

This is a Yamaha BB 400 bass from 1981 or 1982. The previous owner converted this into a fretless - it's a pretty clean but homemade job. (Don't hate him for the silver nail polish "fret markers" - it actually plays and sounds pretty great :)) I bought it years back on eBay for $300 just to...

Final price drop to $850 shipped! Up for sale is my 1977 Ibanez Flying V bass. I have owned nearly every "lawsuit" Ibanez bass ever made, and this model is one of the very finest. Ibanez made two V models - one was a cherry finish, bolt on neck with a mudbucker-style pickup. That was a nice...

Up for sale is my '79 Bassman 135 and matching 4X12 cab. Local pickup only for a very reasonable $725. I'm the original owner, bought it at Clark Music in Atlanta in 1979. This was my main gigging amp till about the mid-80's. Since then it's been mostly in storage - it's just a lot of weight...

This 1994 crafted in Japan '51 P bass has been my main player for the last three years. I bought it on a whim after playing a friends '70-something Tele bass. Once I had it, I couldn't put it down: the neck is like butter and it has that vintage P-bass punch that cuts right through the mix. The...

No one seems to be sharing my infatuation with this bass so I'm doing another, final price drop to $1,600 shipped. If you're into short scales, Dark Star/bisonics or Guilds, this is the real deal. Up for sale is my much loved 1974 Guild JSII bass. I am a fan and collector of Guilds, and always...

This is a very rare bass, from the Klira company in Germany. If you're a Hofner fan, you might know that Klira was a manufacturer in the same region that made similar quality basses using many of the same parts suppliers. Klira's designs tended to be a little more out there, with extreme...

Please note the price reduction to $500, due to the estimated $380 in repairs that this bass will need to be ship shape for playing. The issues are described in a post below. I have collected "lawsuit era" Ibanez basses for a long time, and gradually culled, traded and winnowed my collection...

Here's another bass that I hate to sell but have to, as I need cash for home repairs and other unforeseen expenses. This is a 1967 Guild Starfire I bass. I believe that this bass is all original (I'm not the original owner,) and it's in far better cosmetic and playing condition than most Guilds...

Circumstances are forcing me to list several basses in my collection that I swore that I'd never sell: First up is this 1968 Guild M85. This was and is a "holy grail" bass to me and if you're looking, you probably know how rare and sought-after these basses are. This is the original, hollow...
