selling my bass
1 May 2004 09:52
Offer up for friends first:It has become increasingly obvious that the lovely, lovely bass guitar I purchased through Gaea Spore is just going to sit and rot in my bedroom. I don't have an amp, I don't have the money for an amp, and I don't really have playing opportunities. Therefore, I'm going to sell it.
There are webpages here and here that celebrate the wonders that is the Hamer Slammer SB4F. They seem to be on sale new for $200 these days, although the Hamer website quotes retails as $340 (note: this link shows a different finish than I have). Other websites show the retail price as $310 (and a sale price of $175). I/We paid $250 for it when it was purchased in... 2002?
EDIT: User reviews can be found here!!
The bass was seriously played for less than a year, and has been in my room leaning up against a wall since then (or packed in a box, surrounded by bedding - it was cushioned by all my pillows and blankets during the move). It is in awesome condition; the only blemishes are a few scratches on the back. The front is completely unblemished. It has a (non-matching) silver strap. Oh, very important - please note it is a short scale bass. The scale length is 30.5" (standard is 34"). It was pretty awesome for my overall shortness (I have short arms, even for my 5'3" height), but it was also played by others with larger/longer bodies and frames without difficulty.
Since it's in such good condition, I'm asking $150 for it. Any takers?
