Ebay seller "Stoutpawnjewelery" is selling several lefty basses..."We acquired about 60 left handed bass guitars all from the same person". If any of us needed to unload some basses, I doubt we would go to a pawn shop. Smells fishy...

A Hagstrom Beluga, Schecter T and a couple of G&Ls are particularly interesting.

Is it just me, or are some of these really overpriced? Like $399 for a used Squier with a case? $550 for the Schecter T used? That's how much it is new.

Looks as if someone had a store to sell basses and went out of business and dumped it all to a pawnshop.

I agree the prices are not very well aligned, but then again it's a pawn shop.

The KSD bass looks nice, anyone have any experience with these basses?

I checked out the epiphone sheraton (semi hollow guitar). looks like it's in shit condition.
black string and blackened frets, I don't think it came from a music shop.

I will say this though, most of the stuff they posted has similar photos (the from the the bridge to the head-stock p.o.v of the fret board for instance, which isn't really a common photo to be seen)
so it does seem like they do have access to those instruments.
one might even assume those pictures were all taken all in one session.

You can get a similar KSD but new from Adirondack for $695. They have a good potential but usually need pickup/preamp replacement and some of them have fret issues.
None of those instruments will sell for the asking price.
