Hey, guys. I'm interested in getting a used Series I or II bass 4-string. Is anyone looking to get rid of one around here? I'd prefer not to use Ebay is possible, due to the rampant scams. I'd also be interested in a good deal (i.e., I'm not going to pay for a used bass the same price as I could get a new alembic). |

The Low End has my old 1980 S1. www.thelowend.net It's a great bass and sounds phenominal. Might be in your price range, so go and check it out. |

By the way, I should mention that due to financial restrictions I'm looking for around the $3,000-$4,000 range, if possible. I don't really have the ability to purchase a $7,000-$8,000 instrument right now. But if you're are still interested in parting with a Series let me know. Thanks.

Now is the time to buy one, the market is low. Get the cord and the power supply too, if possible. Good luck! |

Speaking only for myself, Olie, i wouldn't even consider a gig bag for that one! Peter - who's nervous about using a gigbag on his 30-year-old $150 Alvarez laminated flat-top. |

I don't need a gig bag, I'll just settle for a rehearsal bag... |

That zebrawood bass didn't even get any bids the last time it was up. I don't get it. Am I the only one that likes zebrawood? If it was a medium scale, I would consider it. If it were a small standard, it would be mine. |

It looks great. I'm going to check it out. It is in Boston, so I'm going to try to have a friend up there go check it out in person. It's a great price, too. |

I'm not entirely dissappointed that I didn't get it. I still have one option: a 1980 S1. |
