this chart is so wrong I changed it to what it is supposed to say.

You guys see the $1300 crackle finish 3B on reverb ? Lol

 

[amimbari]

I just did now. Wow that will be there for a while..........

I got an old 1984 Sandimas neckthru last month and didn't pay that much. A friend bought it and had buyers remorse and messaged me so I just took it from him for a good price

 

[8liter]

That is so cool. What did you pay, if you don't mind me asking. Also what's the scoop on the bridge pickup?

 

[amimbari]

some guy bought it off of reverb and had buyers remorse and asked if I wanted it and took a loss if I would buy it on the spot.
I have a couple others with the humbucker, and this unit has the old emg's in it setup as VVT.
A trendy thing back then.
Here is another one like that.

Even though I have a feed alert from Concert Basses on Reverb, I always miss stuff like this.

I found a nice lefty 2b. I think I was missing my old black one and when this seller knew I was a collector, he gave me a good price.

Where's the super mega ultra "like" button?

There's a Model 3B for a decent price on GC used site. It's black, not sure about exact condition as I haven't called the store. If I didn't just buy another Jackson a week ago I might be interested!

Edit here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

 

[amimbari]

that GC 3B was sold to a guy in our FB club.

Hey folks. I just got an old bass that my uncle used to play back in the early 90's. It's a charvette by charvel. It's kinda seen better days. Lot of dirt, missing 2 tuner pegs and strings are prob 30 years old . All these things are easy fixed but I'd like to find replacement tuner pegs. Does anyone know which would suit/fit best.
Many thanks

I still have the original Gotoh tuners laying around from my Charvette, in good/ok condition. Shoot me a PM if interested.

A Charvette 400 was my entry into the Charvel/Jackson world. You can even find it in some of my old old posts. Wish I still had it!

Even though its considered a budget bass, the neck on this thing is amazing. So easy to play. I can't wait to get it all cleaned up. The pickup seems to have a great thump. There's a grime on the body that's just from years of playing in dingy bars and venues full of smoke and what not. Gonna be a hell of clean up but it's gonna be worth it.

 

[amimbari]

I don't have any more Charvettes, but I never had a complaint when I did. Yours is the first run using the remaining Charvel necks with the long head.

Mee too. I am getting that five string JJ-version as soon as they arrive here.
