Members vangkm Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 Robin Machete 5 String Bass! I was told it once belonged to a touring pro bass player who became a teacher and sold it to a student. This bass has a lot of battle damage, but has tons more character and mojo! Machete standard basses sold for $2000+ new and I suspect this one has upgrades that the standard ones did not have. One major issue though is there was a headstock break, but that break has been repaired and it is solid *see pics. Asking $550 shipped. Features: 24 Frets Rosewood Fingerboard Bartolinis Patented 3 Layered Body Design Maple Neck Trans Green Finish I wish I knew more about this bass! I e-mailed Robin, but they weren't really able to help me, what a shame. It shows wear from years of road use...dings, scratches, etc...I tried to capture it all in the photos and I think I did a pretty good job of it. If you have any questions regarding any specific wear, shoot me a line. More Pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tomis17 Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 That bass looks killer! It's got some serious mojo. I've played one like it. As a matter of fact I think it may be it. Good luck with your sale vangkm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NKUSigEp Posted February 7, 2008 Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 I didn't know they made this in a bass version! J. Yeunger from White Zombie used a few of the Machete guitars back in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
