1. Ibanez SR305DX
The previous owner screwed a thumb rest into the body on the bass side. I removed it, filled the holes, and touched up the paint, but the holes are still noticeable. I also moved the bottom strap button to reduce neck dive and filled and painted the old screw hole. Weighs 8.4 lbs. $175
2. Aria Pro 2 XRB Series Electrics Fretless Bass
This bass was most likely made in Korea in the 1990s (SN 8051313). The body has a factory blue/teal crackle finish that has a few small dings and scratches. It was a pawn shop special with bad frets, so I pulled them and had my tech fill the slots with plastic and then plane the fingerboard. It's straight and has nice low action. I strung it with GHS Brite Flats. There is a 3" wide discolored stripe (somewhat greenish) on the back of the body. My tech said it looks like the bass might have been previously owned by someone who played with his shirt off and his sweat reacted with the finish. Weighs 8.8 lbs. $130
3. Traben Neo Limited 5 String Bass
The headstock has B and 2 stamped into the back, which I assume indicates B-stock. My tech couldn't find anything wrong and told me it likely had a finish flaw when it left the factory. The body has a few small chips and dings, plus some fine scratches where the previous owner used a pick. I moved the strap pin to reduce neck dive (didn't help much) and filled the old screw hole. Weighs 10 lbs. $200
4. Schecter Stiletto Deluxe 5
The body has a few small scratches and a couple of tiny dings that I filled with black paint. I moved the bottom strap button to reduce neck dive (it helped a little) and filled the old screw hole. Weighs 8.8 lbs. $200
5. Squier by Fender Precision Bass Made in Korea
This bass was built in 1997 if my understanding of Squier serial numbers is accurate (SN 71356). It's all stock except for Wilkinson tuner upgrades, which are an improvement over the originals. The body has some small dings and scratches. I moved the bottom strap pin to reduce neck dive and filled the hole. Weighs 9.2 lbs. $130
6. Squier Affinity by Fender 20th Anniversary Edition Bass Made in China
This bass is all stock and I think was made in 2002 (SN CY20311184). The body has a few small dings and scratches, some of which I filled and painted. Weighs 8.4 lbs. $115
7. Squier by Fender Jaguar Vintage Modified Humbucker Bass
All stock, purchased new in 2011 (SN CS11021551), and barely used since then. I moved the bottom strap pin to reduce neck dive and filled the old screw hole. The neck still dives somewhat. Weighs 7.6 lbs. $120
