Roman Conqueror for sale in Portland, OR

If legit this seems like a good price. I know nothing more.

I think it's a scam. Same pictures as last sale.

that bass must be cursed to show up like a bad penny ever 6 months or so under less than savory circumstances.  good luck to all!

If true..... it's 140 miles south of me. $7500 for a series II 5-stringer seems too good to be true.  It was "for sale" twice in 2025.....BeenDown had reservations about the last seller in TX.

Where are you, Gary?  I'm guessing the Olympia area?  I'm in the greater Everett area.  You have quite the collection.


That Roman Conqueror bass looks amazing but I imagine it may well be a chore to play.  I had a 4-string JPJ Custom for a number of years and it sounded incredible.  It was heavy AF (something like 13 pounds) and the neck is oddly pushed left.  Where first position "should be" is about the 3rd fret.  As a result, I wound up staring at my hands a lot more than I care to when I played that instrument.
