Super Pawn Shop Find

#123
Don't worry guys, I have a deal lined up for the exact synth/cable needed. I ended up going back and getting four hundred bucks back after telling the broker the facts about it and what I'd need for it to be worth anything. He was super cool about it.

But, I have it and it's in great shape. The two band preamp works fine, the neck is straight, and it's all-original. Sounds very punchy with treble turned up, and very mellow as well with other settings. Lovely thing...

little tip. do the research before buying. You are VERY lucking to get anything back. hope the synth unit deal works out. would suck to get stuck without it.

as a new player this seems far over your head. money would've been better spent on a schecter stiletto studio or something of that sort. will be a great project though. Keep it nice and DON'T SELL IT.

i doubt a pawn shop would give you that much back, all pawn shops are over priced and they are there to rip everyone off on everything in the store, deals just dont happen in pawn shops and especially that one which is a few miles from me ....if its a deal you are already paying too much...... unless its something that u do not mind paying the hiked up fees for + their inflated fees + its kinda rare, then why not. i one time left some pedals at my friends house and he ended up pawning it in the echo park pawn shop, i saw my items sitting in there :(

Nice score. Just thought you'd like to know, the bass you have is called a G-33. The GR-33B is the floor module only. There's a good page here with information, although it focuses more on the G-88, which is the older brother of your bass.

http://www.joness.com/gr300/GR-33B.htm

The page also discusses the relationship between the bass and the Fuji Gen Gakki company, who made some Ibanez models.

If you decide to look for the module, you need to do some research to find out what's suitable for your bass. The module that was released with your bass was the GR-33B. The later GR-77B was intended to be used with the G-77 bass, however, according the the link above, there is a way to make it work with the G-33 and G-88.

Dear Slappin'Da Bass:
I have just wasted approximately 15 minutes of my Saturday morning reading through this entire thread only to find that you got a mediocre deal on a bass that was just collecting dust in a pawnshop. Thought you oughtta know.
Sincerely,
Brendan
