The Electra Forums

I have found a very nice Electra X610 MPC bass at a local pawnshop for $89!!!! It even has the phase shifter and frognose modules, and is in complete working order. Only a little chip on the headstock. A solid 9/10 condition. Not sure if it has a case but I bet it does. Going to get it tomorrow! Yay me. Follow the link to photos.

Wow, great score! congratulations!

definitely a great score!!!

There's a pristine Electra Tritone/Solid Sound Bass at the local guitar shop that I was gonna grab, but I Think I'm gonna pass now...

$89! That's definitely the best Electra steal I've ever heard. The modules alone are worth that much, depending on the day. I'm jealous!

My only regret is that I can't keep it. It's hitting ebay tomorrow because I need the money badly. I've been looking for a cheap bass as well! This ain't no cheap bass! Maybe I can sell my Tascam instead. Hmmmmm.

Hmmmmm. With a score like that I might be hesitant to let go of it. I hung on to my guitars through a divorce and even bankruptcy. The few hot dogs they would have fetched in the short term could not make up for the reget in the long run. In that respect I was wise beyond my years then, and today I am grateful. I didn't starve, and those three guitars are hanging on the "sacred" wall in front of me right now.

Maybe it won't hurt to give the decision some thought before acting?

I was going to say the same thing!

I really wouldn't sell that. You're never going to find a deal like that again. Ever.

Of course, it's really none of my business...

but...

you should hold onto it.

I hear you guys and I agree, but my wallet doesn't. I already sold it to the guy that bought my Invicta X260 last week. Got $250 for it. Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. Thanks for the kind words.

AAAAACK! There's one of these on ebay right going for nearly $600!!!!

Well the guy that made me the offer knows I'm in pretty good financial straights now so I'm confident he'll let me off the hook or that price. I sure hope so anyway. If so it will be on ebay tomorrow. I feel like an idiot sometimes. I had no idea what it was worth, and was using the one on ebay as a guage, not figuring it would go higher than $300.

Yes it is, and I really can't go back on the deal anyway, I'm just not like that. he's a lucky bastige!

dang!!! makes me want to go pick up that Electra TriTone Bass at the Guitar shop for $275.... but I really want a x-620 like that one....

I'm guessing the MPC had a large affect of the price though....

I guess it is probably good that did not happen as since I shut down the for sale forum I may have quietly and politely removed it and the thread may have died off. All's well that ends well I guess.

Don't feel too bad. If they were short scale I'd probably be drooling at the chance despite myself and the guidelines.

I would love to have a CSB, but never have enough $ to catch one on eBray. I'd be willing to trade my Knight warrior for one but the oportunity has never presented itself. The short scale would suit me since I primarily make unpleasant noise with a 6-string.
