$50 on Marketplace scored me a Vintage ET280

[DanAdams]

It’s my lucky day.

It even works as it should.
Mid 70s Matsumoku.
I was looking for a piece of countertop for my kitchen, but this will have to do for now
It sure got me out the door quickly this morning.
The entire text of the listing was “base guitar”

 

[Matt O]

You are a luck sack. Love it. Looks in great shape. Enjoy!

Also, cool moped.

 

[DanAdams]

I guess that it's time to check in with the short scale craze.
Can I get down with a floppy E??? I'll find out soon.

 

[motoman]

Got to love misspellings

 

[cnltb]

looks nice.

 

[dusterdan70]

nice “base”!

 

[skygzr]

Score! All of his base are belong to you!

 

[Ostie]

Nice! I’d be all over that myself.

 

[NewJackBass]

Amazing score!!

 

[Pdaddy1978]

You lucky dog!
A classic, for pennies.
The very reason I keep my eye on FB marketplace, but haven't found somthin like it ........yet.

 

[SAlcott]

No floppy E with the correct strings.

Oh that is sweet!

Dude! Score! That's an amazing deal, and moreso if everything is in working order.

I own several Matsumoku basses, and always love to see somebody find one. Especially on a deal like that! Beats the $69 I payed for my Electra Phoenix x630n about 15 years ago.

 

[elgranluis]

Congrats ! I bought one in far worse shape for a similar price. I thought I scored big time, but yours definitely takes the prize !

 

[Jazzbassguy]

Congrats! Great score!!

Still kicking myself for passing on this one at GC a few years ago...

 

[60bass]

Great score. I'd have been all over that one.

They have a pill now to fix that floppy E.

 

[scuzzy]

nice score. play it in good health.

 

[PennyroyalWe]

Damn near stole it!!!

When I was in HS my buddy’s dad had one of these hanging in the jam space. I picked it up to play every chance I got. Absolutely loved the feel of that bass!

HNBD!
