They have this Flying V bass on Craigslist for $350.
Would it be worth it?
It seems cool.

I had two of them. The first one was the korina color and it rocked for a short scale bass. It had beautiful tones all over the board.

The second one was a black one and it seemed much cheaper. I had to replace the bridge and tuners. it was stolen at a show and I never replaced it.

I have a Dean Metalman V which is kinda cool. Normal scale and works great for drop D.

It's all in what you'd like. Go try it out and go from there.

Play it, and if you like it, pounce.
Thats not too bad a price.
Thanks.

It's cool for playing standing up, but I do a good deal of sit-down practice and playing, so it wouldn't be good for me.
-- Nothing wrong with having one more bass in the harem.

I guess they are cool basses, however I think that design is cooler for a guitarist.But thats just me.

I enjoy playing mine, it's amazingly well balanced.

I built a HOT-ROD Vee from a stripped 2nd body with a MM pickup. Plays fine, and is SUPER Light. But if you need a bit of sustain, I found mine had almost none. Great for Speed Metal/Punk/8th notes or better tunes...

ESP makes a GREAT Case for this bass too!

Hey MaddAnthony_59....what model is that ESP bass case....I just got an Epi Flying V, and need a hardshell case for it. The regular Epi Flying V cases are for their guitars only.
Thanks
