Liquidation Sale... seems like I can never keep them long, as other projects need fundage... the X-145 I've had the longest, as I got it from X-Man a few years ago.

anyways, thought I would post here before I hit the 'bay with them....

$300 each plus shipping....

Longnecker Bass, Sunburst. haven't done anything with this. the "inlay" stickers on the headstock are a bit clouded over. It needs fresh strings. The case halves are seperated as you can see....

Westone Raider II Bass, Blue/Yellow Sparkle. has a few nicks, cracks, but totally solid. I absolutely love this color combo, and my boy doesn't want to sell it, but it's gotta go. The original tuners were trashed, so I bought a set of Gotoh direct replacements, and re-used some of the original gold parts. they work great.

X-145VS, Vintage sunburst with Rosewood neck. This one still has the model sticker on the back trem cover. Beautiful Sunburst. I swapped out the original neck a few years ago, with a rosewood fretboard one... I do not have the original neck any longer... I do have the original trem bar, it's just not installed...

Whoa, can you open a beer bottle with that headstock? I've never seen those Triangle fret markers before, and the strip of green where the blue and yellow meet is pretty cool... I'd give it a 8.6 on the coolness scale. Best of luck!

When you first told me about the raider, that was not what I expected.....what a bass!
Too bad you replaced the neck on the Phoenix, I might be intersted if it were still maple.
But, to the serious:
Would you negotiate the price and/or tell me shipping to Maryland (specifically Baltimore?)


BTW, I'd save the Raider for your son, but that's me talking. There has to be something else you don't want. :D

Now I have cash, but $10 bucks short.

But my parent's would never let me use the money on another bass... :bawl:

No, but I'll have some again... just after I get settled in the new house...
All I'll have left is the '33 National Steel, and the '70 Blue MusicMaster.
