So I thought I'd give you all the first shot at them... I really don't want to go to eBay. First, my 2001 5 String Series 1 MK in Coco Bolo. It's in great condition, 34" scale, a small crack near the back plate. I'll take more pics if you're interested. I'm asking 4250. But make me an offer. Second is a highly customized 5 string fretless Excel. I bought it from a club member who ordered it from the shop, here's his details: Serial# 04X13385 - Fretless 5-string Excel Vermilion top Zebrawood accent lams w/purpleheart pinstripe Vermilion body Ebony/purpleheart/vermilion/mahogany neck Satin finish on back of neck Striped macassar ebony fingerboard Continuous vermilion veneers on pickups 34" scale Side LEDs: Green w/amber at 12th & 24th frets MXY neck pickup, FatBoy bridge pickup Europa/Rogue electronics w/custom layout Recessed straplocks Gotoh tuners Chrome plated hardware I think 3250 is fair for this one, but again- make me an offer. Both come with OHSC, and the guy i bought the excel from was kind enough to include an alembic strap with it, so I'll include that too. And some new strings with both. Why not? Contiguous US shipping is on me. I don't know anything about shipping internationally, so I would prefer to avoid it. In the off chance that you have a Carl Thompson, I'll consider a trade. Here's an album with both: http://imgur.com/a/bPNcG I'll provide more pics or info if you want. Thanks for looking!

Have a couple of leads on the Series, but no bites on the Excel so far. Anyone? rapsak_v New Username: rapsak_v Post Number: 6 Registered: 8-2013 Posted on Monday, March 17, 2014 - 11:51 am:    Hi, How much does the S1 weigh? And does it come with the DSR power supply? Thanks darkstar01 Senior Member Username: darkstar01 Post Number: 511 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Monday, March 17, 2014 - 4:07 pm:    I'm pretty sure I have a deal for the Series, so it can be marked as sold/traded for , for now. darkstar01 Senior Member Username: darkstar01 Post Number: 512 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - 4:25 pm:    And the deal fell through for the series. So it's back on the market. For those asking about the weight, I have no way of weighing it, but it is on the heavy side. rapsak_v New Username: rapsak_v Post Number: 7 Registered: 8-2013 Posted on Thursday, March 20, 2014 - 5:12 pm:    You might have a bathroom scale? What about the power supply? Thanks darkstar01 Senior Member Username: darkstar01 Post Number: 513 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Thursday, March 20, 2014 - 5:52 pm:    i have the rack mounted power supply and cable, as well as the case (although the case has a busted lock). i do not, however, have a bathroom scale. darkstar01 Senior Member Username: darkstar01 Post Number: 515 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - 3:02 pm:    Series bass has been sold. darkstar01 Senior Member Username: darkstar01 Post Number: 516 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2014 - 11:20 am:    So I hate to be difficult here, but I think I'm going to take the Excel off the market for now. It's my only fretless. I'll entertain trade offers for another fretless, but I think a sale is off the table for now. Thanks everybody. dudkass New Username: dudkass Post Number: 1 Registered: 3-2012 Posted on Friday, March 28, 2014 - 2:20 am:    Hi, Sorry I get here too late, If the deal for the series falls through I am interested.
