Title: 1980 series I for sale/trade
Post by: pinchdawg on March 03, 2006, 03:14:21 PM

Hi all, I purchased this bass about a month ago and it just doesn't fit my style of playing. I was going to have it modified, but I have been advised that it would not be the best option. The problem I have is with the location of the selector switch, I can not play/slap comfortably with its current location. so rather than moving it and disrupting the originality of this bass I am going to sell or trade it to find one that suits me better. all offers will be considered. check my profile and click on the link to see the bass. check the showcase for stats. s/n 80-1745 Thanks, Jim

Damn!, I really want that bass. I just don't have enough blood to give. This hurts  I've been watching this one for a while trying to figure my way into it. Just can't part w/any of my 12 basses.Each one has sentimental value(go figure).Guess I'll miss out on this one. Damn!

Congratulations Adam. I'll just have to wait a little longer for a Series bass unless somebody else out there has one for sale.
