It's a 2004 NAMM Bass.. almost looks like a Will Lee model... Sooo tempted......

If I'm not mistaken this is the '04 NAMM Sadowsky that was just in my local GC
I posted a brief review to the effect of it is not in great shape or very good playing condition
I wouldn't have coughed up 2500 for it, probably same reason the buyer seems to have returned it to their local GC across the country

What I don't get is how the SVT210AV is $300 new and the SVT212AV is $700 new. I mean sure it should cost more for 12s...but more than double the price?

I don't know why they called them that--as if they only differ in the speaker size. They're totally different animals, really (sealed vs ported, 200w vs 600w, etc.). I assumed the same thing, fwiw, so I assumed the svt212av wasn't a pro cab, which it is.

This is a really bad Marcus Miller V fake. Could be the wrong photos used because the listing description is for a P-bass, but who know.

This bass actually had an entire thread about it a couple days ago... a member asking the TB collective wisdom just what the He!! it was.

I think your first sentence sums it up nicely.

If I find the thread I’ll post a link...
 
they have my old 83 L2k and 2011 sb-2 now in pasadena, got a new L2k for my birthday
I don't know about that one but I just bought an L2k from their site that was listed (wrongfully) as an '86. The lawsuit headstock and slot pups were the giveaway that screamed "go for it" and risk that whopping $20 shipping fee. It's a fully intact 1981 with mahogany body. Both pups were horribly microphonic but that was an easy fix. Some dings on the body, everything else in fantastic condition with a neck to die for. I already have an incredible '83 with eye-gouger headstock that sounds very different from this one with the 1st version preamp. This '81 sounds more like a two-pup L1k even though active. Nice change after returning my last two online purchases to GC due to issues. They DO just recycle problem returns without changing the condition or price until someone keeps it. This one isn't going in their recycle bin. Yum yum yum and a case of rum- more like a case of single malt. Here's the ad I bought it from:

The new L2k was kinda screwed up so I just got my 84 back and I'm currently evaluating the ski jump and questionable neck work done before I owned it.
 
I've had two occasions in the last three months that I had to call for price on a used item.
Can't figure why on the first one - price was avg for what it was, no reported issues.
Second time the bass had been damaged in store - couldn't say what was wrong exactly and offered to sell it to me anyway. :rollno:
