Post subject:  Bongo 5 HH "08" / GnL 4 Import "08"
2 Basses for sale or trade. Individually or together. I bought a Wal bass from Gravebass a few weeks back everything went smooth I think he will vouch for me. Anyway Bongo was ordered 6 months ago it took almost 5 to get it. It is a 10 out of 10. It's in perfect condition. Better than when I got it. It is set up and intonation set. Paid 1700 with the tax I'm just in slight money jam and well the Wal aint going anywhere. The GnL was 550 and was an experiment to see if I still could play or even want to play a 4 string and well yes it's fine so that's why I got the Wal. I don't play either of these basses to keep them around when I need another amp or cash. Like I said they are both perfect. Bong has hard shell case and Gnl came with a gig bag. The Gnl came missing the lock screw in the bridge but doesn't affect anything and you could get one for a buck or two somewhere I'm sure. I want around 1450 for the bong cause it has about 3 hours of play time on it. And 350 for the Gnl. The Gnl has American pickups in it the thing sounds awesome and I had a 5 string U.S.A. model and the neck was junk. This Korean actually kicks the U.S.A. models but in playability hands down. I tried to add photos and the filies are too big. I 'm too dumb to fix them. I had Photoshop and I don't have it anymore. Will email pics to anyone and it someone can tell me how I'll edit this and repost it with pics...

I think $25 bucks would cover it. I'll pack it extremely well and I'll throw in a new pack of DR "HI-BEAM" 45 / 65 / 85 / 105 I have lying around. I bought them to put on the Gnl and never got around to it. So $375.....get me here http://www.thumbslam@comcast.net I'll ping you back with my cell we'll work out the details.

Correction on the Gnl, not made in Korea made in Indonisia if my spelling is wrong forgive me. I'm not a word smith. Just wanted to give the best info I can. Download the manual from the Tribute sight for the electronics. You will dig it fo show..... I was just playing her this morning and was looking her over and caught the "made in" thingy stamp. Strings are dead so you will want to change em right away. I will loosen them slightly for shipping like between a half or whole step. Neck is as strait as Peter North.......HEEE HEEEE

I bought his G&L, Andrew. Some previous offers apparently didn't materialize, so I grabbed it. These are killer basses at any price, IMO. I actually like it better than the US made ASAT bass I used to have.

Now the next part of my story. The Pedulla is pulled from evil bay do to lost or broken. I guess John has a good reason for that. I got my funds together and it's gone. I hope it went to a good home. There was never a bid on it and no one bought it. Maybe he sold it locally. That's like the third thing in a few weeks I wanted off the bay and missed. I feel like that kid in the picture. If anyone has a pentabuzz in their closet they don't need please let me know. :cry:

Why not just ask John? Isn't he either a member here, or Gravesbass knows him? Same guy, no?

I don't want to make a big deal out it. Ultimately it is my fault, it was on for a few days and I didn't pull the trigger. I did call him and emailed too. I havn't heard back yet. There was no bid when he pulled it and at that point you can do whatever you want. I did have contact while it was posted and i wish I did have the chance Monday night when I went to bid. I wish he would have let me know first but he doesn't realy owe me anything. I hope it all worked out for him. If I have the chance to do it again I would still buy it. I even spoke to Jeff Schmidt the original owner. The one that got away. My ass still hurts from me kicking it.
