    SOLD!


    Fender Victor Bailey Signature Acoustic Electric Bass Guitar

    Very good condition (near mint), made in about 2005.

    Asking $650 (new, about $800)

    I'm selling this bass because I simply never use it, as I primarily play my upright, and sometimes my electric (StingRay). I've played it a few times around the house, but I've never gigged with it.

    Action is great, volume is surprisingly not-soft when unplugged, and wood finish is high gloss and absolutely beautiful. :hyper: I can't find any scratches or marks on it. No issues.

    Note: A couple of the pix look as if there is discoloration, but THERE IS NONE - blame it on operator error - gloss was so shiny that I had a difficult time shooting it without getting glare.

    Includes soft Fender gig bag. Selling to CONUSA only. buyer pays shipping. PayPal is best, and local buyers are encouraged.

    Pix available here

    I have this bass and it is a sleeper in the acoustic bass guitar world, IMHO.

    The neck is prety much a Jazz feel and the instrument is very comfortable.

    I use mine to practice on because it feels like an electric and I can hear it without an amp...nice when sitting in front of the TV, playing along to music and commercials. You'd be suprised how much that can strengthen your chops.

    Anyway....nice bass!!

    My friend Joel has this exact bass. Its killer and I offered to buy it off of him right then and there. He said no.

    Wish I could reason getting this.

    Good luck with the sale! :)

    Free bump.

    The necks on these play like a dream, and unlike many acoustics, its not bulky at all.

    I know how much TB loves tort, was it mentioned that this thing has tort binding :p

    You're killing me...

    That is one of the prettiest acoustic electrics I've seen; love that wood grain! I'd need it to be fretless, and have 2 more strings too probably, but I'm sure that this bass will have someone fall in love with it and treat it well. Nice bass.
