Lightweight and incredibly resonant, it delivers a smooth, rounded low end with a punchy midrange that sits perfectly in the mix.

Price: $2,250.00 (+$100 shipping)

Hardshell Epiphone case included, in very good condition.

Price is firm, NO NEGOTIATIONS. This is a bass that's hard to find and other than one small chip in the finish on the headstock (visible in the picture) it's in great condition, minimal belt buckle wear and gigged very lightly, so I'm not willing to lower the price.

Shipping $50 to the lower 48 ONLY.

Paypal only.

DURP!

Forgot to mention. $400.

Thanks Death Hands.

My ideal trade would be for a pre'94 G&L Legacy with a maple fingerboard. As for cash, make me an offer and we'll see.

Asking $800

Weight: 11.2 lbs

Serial number is B007073

Famed hair band bassist Rudy Sarzo (Ozzie, Whitesnake, Quiet Riot, etc) collaborated with Washburn to come up with the Rudy Sarzo signature bass line. This one is the rarest of the bunch ( Set neck, red/white, the Bizarro bridge and control layout) and has become quite a collectible item.

The fretboard is sealed ebony. Washburn soapbars and active electronics. 34" scale, 19mm spacing at the bridge. It's light for its size, approx 9#.

The tail strap button was moved to the lower bout. No neck dive that way and the bass hangs comfortably.

Pix here:

http://s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg46/teletypist/Washburn%20B-70RS/

The pictures show the white areas a bit more yellowish then it actually is, although it has taken on a more "aged" look over the years. Overall condition is very good considering it's 25 years old and has been played. Just one small ding, and a bit of worn paint in a heel crease. Truss rod works. Frets/fingerboard/neck are fine. With the OHSC.

Current pricing on these is over $1k. Primarily looking for guitar trades, or part trades. Only bass equipment I'm still looking for is a Peavey Cirrus 5 (as a part trade).

I use this bass exclusively for CLEAN punchy sounding songs and also some slap (it is GREAT FOR SLAP because it is the only 6-string bass that has FULL, VERY WIDE 19mm string spacing at the bridge).

Also has the upgraded CUSTOM WOUND Reed James pickups (not the standard Kent Armstrong pickups that normally came with the bass).

Cosmetic condition: 9.5 out of 10. No scratches, dings, etc.

The only issue I would mention is one of the pots (the stacked pot) has regions where the bottom half pot does not seem to alter the tone except for the full "on" position...but it may just be a dirty pot or something. That is why I am knocking off some price from what these are normally selling for online used.

You can hear this actual bass by going to the two following YouTube videos (this is my actual bass they used for promo...just copy the link into your browser and hit enter):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uH7fND8Obc

Note: I am having trouble uploading pictures at this moment in time...will try again tomorrow. If you are interested in pics, I can email them directly to you as well.

If anybody knows just exactly what this may be, please fill me in. I always thought it was a bass, but regular bass strings don't fit on it and it's fitted with basically guitar tuners. I'm not sure how much I'm asking yet, so shoot me an offer and I'll get back to you. I'm also looking to trade for/towards:

1)a Marshall JCM 800 2204

2)any Marshall cab with celestions (particularly greenbacks)

3)a Gibson Les Paul standard or custom

Thanks for looking!

The body has a wenge core with alder body wings, a four way bookmatched Austrailian Lacewood top and back, and is chambered. The neck is a nice piece of lightly figured maple with a Paufero fretboard and position markers on the side of the fingerboard only that are made of abalone, as well as an Ivory nut. Legally obtained of course, before the ban in the US. Nut width is 2.14"/54.55mm. It has a custom made Hipshot bridge which allows the bass to be strung with the ball ends of the strings anchored in the bridge, or strung through the body, and the string spacing at the bridge is 17.25mm. The instrument is also equipped with Hipshot USA tuners, with a drop tuner on the B string, and Hipshot knobs. The pickups were custom made for me by Kevin Bellar as was the active 18 volt preamp which features a master volume, blend control, bass, mid, treble (+/- 25db), a midrange frequency select switch, and a push/pull switch on the volume pot that activates a secondary EQ circuit in the preamp (inside the control cavity) that is currently adjusted for slap style playing.

The instrument does not have a case. Never did. I can have one custom made by G & G Custom Cases in Los Angeles if the buyer wishes, and will offer it at my actual OEM cost, or, it can be shipped, well protected and packed very well of course, in a gig bag.

More pics can be made available by request, and I also have some progress pics of the build that I will happily make available to the buyer. I do offer local pickup in Southern California, and for payment, I accept cash (if you're picking it up), PayPal, or bank wire transfer.

Price is $5000.00 o.b.o. plus shipping.

Will consider offers and possibly trades/trade plus cash.

Specs...Fully bound 34" scale 3 piece mahogany/maple set neck, double bound maple body, Gibralter III bridge, Quick Change III tailpiece & Ibanez ACHB1 pickup. Comes with a nice gig bag.

Bass is in excellent condition with no chips, dings or fret wear. Looking for $250 shipped (Continental USA). I accept postal money orders. Sorry, no Paypal or trades. More pictures available. Thanks for looking.

Only issue is one of the machine heads has snapped off. Needs a new tuner. Not too big of an issue considering its rarity. 

I think these were made in Japan from the little info I could gather online.

Sorry no case to include.

Paypal gift or cash in person only. I've got plenty of good feedback on ebay, user id analogfizz . I used to buy and sell(even traded) about 10 years ago here on the classifieds. It's been so long I don't even remember what the id or email was. Lots of gear I'll be unloading here in the next few weeks.  Most of its on my local Craigslist as well. I'm in the Houston,Tx area and have lots of experiance in packing and shipping. If you'd like to see my listings just go to Houston CL( or here as well) musical instruments and type in thethiefandthearchitect and don't forget to check us out on facebook.

Completely stock, works 100% with no issues.

No marks or dings or wear on the neck.

Body is in excellent shape:

- has only 1 small through-the-paint nick (less than 1/4" long) on the back/bottom on the opposite side from the input jack (in the CLOSE-UP photo of the back corner, the niimck shows up in the middle of the photo on the left end of the "glare" in the photo).

- has a few "imperfections/indentations" in the paint that you have to the bass up to the light & study the body to find (I'm not sure if they came from the factory or were slight bumps - I'm the 2nd owner and they came with it when I bought it a few years ago).

No other imperfections.

I can send pix to anyone initerested.

$625 plus $25 paypal (you can waive this if you go money order) plus shipping

Please ask questions prior to clicking to buy. Please view all photos and know what you're buying. This is the real deal and is not a China made or Korean made model. - Made in Germany...

Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar:

1973 Gibson EB4-L

Long Scale 4 string Bass

Pot Code - 1377303 - 3rd week of 1973

Serial Number - 905757

3 piece neck

34 1/2" scale length

Bass is in good shape and plays great

Original tuners

Pickup replaced and coil tap added in the early 80s

No breaks, no issues, no repairs, no paint work

Original finish as black light inspection verifies that

Has a few dings and dents on the body

Has one or two on the back of the neck, smooth feel and doesn't hinder play

Has scuffs on the side of the headstock, most likely from a guitar stand

I have tried to capture all of this. Please look at all the pics. She's not a case queen nor is she trashed.

I'd say pretty typical wear for a guitar that is over 44 years old

Modifications (if any):

Coil tap added

Pickup swapped

Gig Bag

The only mar I can find on it is a thin white scratch about 1/8" on the end of the head.

It's at least 16 years old. Hasn't been played in 4 years.

The pictures show the condition. I didn't even wipe it off for the photos. Please check out the old threads and reviews for Bunny Brunel on this site. Google the specs on the string spacing. You don't want to miss this one.

Includes high quality, original hard case.

Located in Colorado

Specs -

CIJ

28.5" scale

Tuned E-E

2 single coil pickups

Fixed Bridge

Fuzz Circuit - Battery cover can be seen in the pic of the back. Fuzz ranges from nice and light to really thick and raunchy.

The Bottom Master was only made for 2 years in Japan (CIJ) and never sold in the US. It is like having a guitar, a baritone and a bass all in one. Think vintage Bass VI, just no trem to worry about.

The guitar is dead mint. I can't find a scratch anywhere on it. It still has the plastic on the pickguard and pickups.

Value - Used trade value would be around $1,450, but that is negotiable of course. I may be willing to negotiate more in the case of a straight cash deal. Preferred deal would be gear plus cash for the Bottom Master since I need to get at least a few hundred in the deal.

I really want a Telecaster, preferably MIA with a Maple fretboard, but MIM is fine as well, especially a Road Worn.

Gibson ES-339

Any Fender offset, especially older Mustangs or Jazzmasters

I am open to any other offers as well. You never know what may pique my interest.

Feel free to PM me with any questions and offers. Please, send cash offers via PM only, not in this thread.

Pics -

NOT A NICK OR BLEMISH ON IT. MINIMAL PLAYING TIME (the frets have no discernable wear; only the finish is 'dulled' where the strings have touched them - otherwise this neck would be NEW condition).

Serial # Z6028134.

$399 for the neck & all hardware + $25 towards shipping & paypal (I'll cover anything over the $25).

Or I would trade it for a maple MIA jazz bass neck

Bass heroes are few and far between. But one player who has unquestionably reached that status is Doug Wimbish. This first-call New York session pro has played with artists such as the Rolling Stones, Mos Def and Living Colour. And he's never without one of his Ibanez DW3B basses. The Ibanez DWB3 is Doug's 4-string model. It combines exotic bubinga with active pickups and an EQ that was custom-designed for Doug. Plus, the Ibanez DWB3 has all the quality and value that the Ibanez name carries with it!

Ibanez DWB3 Doug Wimbish 4-String Bass at a Glance:

• Unlimited upper fret access from neck-through body with ash wings
  
• Active EMG pickups and custom EQ for wide tonal range and focused sound
  
• Superior strength and fret response from maple/bubinga neck and rosewood fretboard
  

Unlimited upper fret access from neck-through body with ash wings

The extreme double-cutaway body of the Ibanez DWB3 gives you total freedom to reach even the highest frets with ease, making solo work on the G-string even more fun! The Ibanez DWB3's design makes the most of premium tone woods, with light ash wings secured to the maple/bubinga through neck. It's the perfect combination of tone and light weight, making the Ibanez DWB3 sound great and feel great, too.

Active pickups and custom EQ for wide tonal range and focused sound

Ibanez enlisted the aid of master pickup builders EMG to outfit the DWB3. The EMG 35P4 gives you the precision tone of a classic bass, while the 35J4 is great for jazzier playing. Plus, imagine running up to 100 feet of cable from the DWB3's low-impedance output to your amp! You don't need to worry about loss of high-frequency response. This Ibanez beauty doesn't need a DI for going straight to a recording or live board, either.

In addition, the Ibanez DWB3 features a 2-band EQ that was custom-designed to Doug Wimbish's tonal taste. The Ibanez EQB-DW2 offers rapid tone adjustments for bass and treble. Combined with the active technology, this EQ means your DWB3 can assume just about any tonal characteristics you want!

Superior neck strength and fret response

At the core of the Ibanez DWB3 is its 5-piece maple/bubinga neck. With its neck-through design, it delivers the awesome strength and stability you need for rock-solid intonation. 24 Medium frets are set into the rosewood fingerboard, making the Ibanez DWB3 a pleasure to play.

Includes hardshell case.

I am the single owner of this bass and hate to part with it, but it's going to be the odd bass out at this time. Located in Kentucky and would prefer not to ship, but can within the U.S. I do not have a HSC for it, but if I have to ship it'll be packaged partially within a softshell case. Shipping TBD based on where it ends up going, I'm guessing approximately $40-$60. Please email me at rainmaker@zoomtown.com with any questions.
