New to the board, and thought I would post my ax. Getting old here, so as soon as I can figure a good fair price, she will be on the block. Sweet player, but fingers arent what they used to be here! Amaranth, Bubinga, zebra, purple heart, Maple etc, power supply, case 2 5 pin cords. 77-755

NEAT grain patterns! I love the way it swirls around to follow the shape of the body.

What's the scale length?

Scale is 32inch. It is an unusual hunk of wood!
Will attempt to upload a better photo

That's one great looking bass. The grain is very interesting indeed. If you're going to post more pictures: I'd love to see how that unusual wood combination you describe looks on her!

Thanks for the pics Dale, looks great!

I have pretty much decided to sell this bass. I would consider trade ins, but they are pretty specific. Anyone having a 1972ish Gibson Les Paul (recorder) bass, or an old 32 inch EB3 in top condition, drop me a note. I would consider these plus cash for my Series I. I would also consider ampeg eub's. If nothing else, I would expect to put this unit on ebay in the fall. Full photo sets are available on request to: bassman118(at)cox.(net)

bkbass. if you send me a working email addr, I will discuss, and send better photos. What ya got in mind?

That e-mail address(work)is good I'll send it to you again.I've got an amp that would go with it also in cherry condition OR a single 15 gauss loaded Bag End cabinet in oiled birch with it's own road case again not abused at all.I will send photos within the next week or so.

Since I am getting away from playing, the bass would be used to decorate the studio wall. Any amps or speaker trade ins would be of no use to me. Thanks for the offer anyway. As I said earlier, I will probably just post the series 1 on ebay this fall, and let the market decide its value.
Any offers will always be considered, and I appreciate any input.

bkbass · « **Reply #11 on:** July 17, 2004, 07:53:13 AM »

Very well then,thanks for your consideration of my offer.You know how to find me if you change your mind.Good luck and God bless.B

Got a fair cash offer and this bass has been sold to an overseas buyer.

A fair deal it was. It was me who bought Dale's 77 Series one and I am more than pleased with it. I really love that old sound. Ellio Martina (http://www.elliomartina.com/) did some neck corrections. The neck had a backward bow which he corrected and some other minor adjustments. It plays so smooth. So finally I got myself a bass with a name, simply Dale's 77. Thanks to Ellio and Edwin van Huik I got an old bass that plays like a new one.
