Guild Pilot bass club?

[EWH]

natural if the price is right.

I have a very nice price for you - let me know when you are ready go shopping...

 

[BGroovy]

How about a red 605 or a natural Pro5 then...?

That red 5er would be a great companion to my blue 4 string.

That's actually the one of the three that I like best...
If I was to sell it however, the problem is that I am in Europe and you are in the US...Not only would the price of a taxed and tariffed "European Pilot" certainly put you off, the high shipping costs would serve to ensure that you would not buy it...
There is a very nicely priced red Pro5 project in the US listed on Reverb you might be interested in...Inkcow stubbornly refuses to buy it - perhaps it is something for you...?

 

[EWH]

So, the Minis showed up a few days ago - finally had time to take a few fotos - what do you think...?

 

[Yeshuarocks]

If you don't mind me asking, how much?!

 

[EWH]

I paid 74.Euros per unit.

Seen on Reverb - does. not. compute...

And that A string tuner - I have no words...

I’m about two months into my first Pilot and I can’t say enough about this bass. It’s pretty much my only 34” scale bass I pick up to play. Love the thin body, the weight. Incredibly comfortable bass with a unique yet familiar tone. Just love it.

Lightweight tuners would make it perfect.

Look what showed up in the mail today. A great TBer shipped me a factory hard case for my Pilot!

That's an "early" version of the Pilot case - early '80s/first half - nice score, good for you...
I still have a Pilot case over there, trapped in the US since shipping prices went berserk as a result of Covid...

Hello people...Thought I'd share a seller's foto of the gorgeous '88 602 I just paid for...More fotos when it arrives...

Seems I should be in this club. The last time I bout a brand new bass was early 1988, and it was this beautiful Pilot 902. Serial number in the very low teens. I have probably bought 40-50 used basses since then. Won't ever get rid of this one

Calm down, deepender...!
Do try to contain your excitement - we don't need you going into cardiac arrest...

 

[EWH]

There is a beautiful SB-602 on Reverb right now - go take a look...!!!

Holding one during that song, at any rate.
