Author Topic: Considering trade - Excellent Brown Bass for comparable full scale 5 string Alembic (Read 169 times)

Here's the deal: I have been a proud owner of an incredible Brown Bass -- anniversary electronics, gold plated hardware, red side leds, beautiful woods (see link), great playing bass - it's been a lot of places (locally) with me but still in perfect condition. Always traveled in its G&L case I've kept it waxed and cleaned - no dings, etc.
But the problem is that, as much as I love (really love) this bass, I have switched nearly 100% to 5 strings in at least full scale and more often 35. Ouch.
If there's anyone out there with a 5 string Mark King, S1 or 2 or similar in smaller than a full standard body who's interested in a trade for my bass (cash either way, depending on the circumstances, but my BB is pretty top of line) please let me know. Here's a link that will give you a good idea what my bass looks like (). Serious inquiries only please. Thanks Bill

PS - Maybe should have been clearer -- This is a feeler only. I might regain my senses at any moment.

Most interested in coco bolo balance K MK 5 strings (scale could be flexible). I have plenty of pics I can send you if you are serious and trade potential is good. Thx

Think I've found a once in a lifetime trade with another Club member where each gets something he'd never have otherwise and will use and appreciate. Keep you posted. Thanks for the purchase inquiries.
