wanted: 4,5, or 6 string bass. Fretted. My budget is up to 1300.
I'm a dedicated, working bassist who's been drooling over these basses for half my life, looking for my DREAM BASS..

If in the NYC/NJ area, I will deliver payment in cash.

Keep an eye out for me guys, ok?.. if you see anything "dreamy" in my price range..le me know?

You're in the price range for a Spoiler or Persuader four string or an Epic in 4-6 strings. Outside of that, you will need a miracle...

Make yourself an Alembic fund and start dropping money into it when you can. If you can get your budget up a few hundred, you should be able to find a dream bass.

Good luck!

Look for my Epic 6 thread from a couple of weeks ago. I think it's worth more than $1300 but have had others cut me a break on this site. You'll have S&H too but all in it could be what you want.

I bought my first Essence for $1100 (no case), and my second for about $1350 (with G&G case). These deals are out there, you just need to find them. Neither of the Essences I bought came from Ebay. The first was from www.conn-signmentmusic.com, and the next was from www.goodguysguitars.com. I frequent these sites, and you might wish to do the same if you're looking for something in your price range. If I find anything myself, I'll let you know.

Best regards, and good luck!

Alan
