That's my local GC! I'm surprised anything used there is competitively priced. They had an old fliptop that was priced to the moon for about a year.
IIRC this was bought and apparently returned by someone in your area to that store, so they didnt price it (also the price drop)
I did some research based upon the pictures... it's a 1990's Mike Lull. The news ones have 4 knobs. Based on the research that I've done, current models would sell around this price point. This should be around $1100 - 1200, IMHO.
This Marco is at my local store. I returned it to get some funds to do some shopping at The Atlanta Bass Gallery which is going out of business. (Scored some killer deals too! Worth it...)
Okay, here are the details on this bass...
It was originally a P bass. They had the J pickup routed as well as the battery compartment and control compartment.
The bass is indeed passive, The leads from the battery are tied off neatly in the control cavity if you want to add an active pre.
The neck is a nice U shape and comfortable.
If you don't know Marco... search Talkbass and find out!

Whew. If I didn't just snag that Sterling I posted about earlier, I would've bought this already:

I love this color with the maple board. 5 strings, great condition, comes with a case...
Dangit. When does the tax return get here?

Wow Thanks for heads up! I don’t see this on the website yet. Did you play it? Any insight on playability?
Thanks
It looked brand new with a bigger neck, I was playing a caprice so I didn't get to try it.
Bummed to hear about the ABG, but thanks for the heads up on deals. Looks like they're clearing out stock on Reverb.
It's the face of the most recent guy to return that item.
Thanks, ivlucas!
I just had to snag this one. I love the block fret markers, and this looks like a great project. I have a bunch of Jazz custom parts laying around, waiting to be put to good use!
EBMM Sterling (not Sterling by MM) $799 - supposedly in "Excellent" condition. I just bought an EBMM Caprice, so I am good for now
