"Pre-Internet" Bass spotted & bought (Summer 1997)

Found this old BP Magazine from August 1997.
Buried on page 24 was article about LA Bass Exchange grand opening. Saw that picture (red circled bass), made a phone call, and $750 later that July 1996 Stingray arrived. Still have it.

Hamer 12 string

Saw this on private Hamer Fanclub FB page. Mid 1980's B-12s
Have no idea when/where this unicorn was sold (to a righty? Has the dreaded lower horn strap button...)

Re: Buying new is weird?

Have never bought a new bass in over 40 years. The only new guitar I ever bought was a Fernandes Tele copy in the early nineties.

Same with amps: Everything used except a new SWR bass head in late 1990's and a Yamaha THR-10 two years ago.

(I'll make an exception for strings and batteries)

1982 set neck Carvin LB-50 body and neck project

I always thought these would make great fretless basses.
(The truss rod and fretboard issues are a dealbreaker for me... but it is fretless at third fret!)

Re: 1980 Musician Sabre bass

That bass looks just like the one I sold few years ago. I sold it with the replacement neck from EB and the original neck that was warped... Sold it at 1/3 of the price here...
