No Bull, This is the actual guitar that Christopher Columbus was playing when he spotted America on his GPS and came ashore in 1492!
It is a family treasure but I really need to sell it. I have way to many guitars and this one has to go. First $125,000 takes it!

Listem to a rare sound bite of uncle Chris playing this guitar: http://www.emusic.com/samples/m3u/so...4/10542078.m3u

You not buying my bass makes baby Jesus cry - $116 (Bothell)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Much like putting mayo on hot dogs, "mild" salsa, and French manufactured cars the fact that I have yet to sell this beautiful bass is a crime against humanity. Stick some Sriracha on that Hebrew National, buy this sweet instrument, and bask in your contribution to the balance of the universe.

Peavey Milestone III bass guitar with original fitted Peavey gig bag for $116 obo. Good overall shape, straight neck, solid frets, all pots and pups in good shape. Has a nice low action, and is freshly tuned. Suprisingly hot pickups for a passive. The gig bag is nicely padded, and has a little leather thingy to hold the handles together. Couple small cosmetic issues (little buckle rash, chip outta the horn, and a couple rusty screws) that don't affect playability. Really good tone for a bargain bass. I'll be dropping the price $1 a day until it's sold, or no longer worth posting. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Also open to trades for just about anything bass related, and a lot of things non-bass related. Make me an offer, and I promise I won't laugh. Unless that offer involves UPSing me a check, you writing me a $5000 check and I'll give you the difference, or helping you get your money out of Nigeria. I'll take this down when it's sold, and summarily delete any email just asking "Still available?"

I accept cash, postal money order, or paypal. I might accept kittens, puppies, ferrets, or particularly handsome snakes. I'm disinclined to take small children, sexual favors, drugs, or your immortal soul. Might consider brokering a three way deal for your soul, although I will charge a commission. Buy this nice bass before I get all rockstar and set it on fire then smash it into the curb.

I'll also set it on fire and smash it for your entertainment for $90. You get a discount because let's face it, I'd enjoy that too.

Taylor Guitar - $2400 (Northwest Pensacola)

I am selling my beautiful Taylor acoustic/electric guitar. It is a 410-CE-LE, limited edition guitar made with Indian rosewood body (as opposed to an ovangkol one, which is what 400 series guitars are typically made with). It was the limited edition Taylor produced in the fall of 2004. It was a real find because it is made of 800 series materials but without the 800 series price tag. The face of the guitar is spruce and the neck is American mahogany. It has been treated very well and is in like-new condition. The guitar comes in its Taylor hard leather case (it has always been stored in its case). If you know guitars than you know this is a real beauty. It really is an 810CE with a 410LE stamp in it. To get a new Taylor made of Indian rosewood costs over $4000. Email me for more pictures. Thanks for looking!

That is funny. Obviously he's joking but the one thing he blew it on was "SM58 mic--modeled after the mics professionals use"...that's the one piece of gear he's selling that professionals really do use. Well, that and XLR cables and stands.

Okay, here's one - It seems a bit pricey but it does come with an 8' chord:

1987 Limited Edition 300 watt bass amp!!!!When this came out they called it the beast.It is numbered on an engraved plate 106 of 500.I know a few famous bass players who actually have this same amp!Mike Mills-R.E.M.,Jerry Dixon-Warrant,Gene Simmons-KISS,Eerie Von-Misfits/Danzig and others.I had this listed on ebay for $4,700.00 and Ampeg Co.actually called me and told me to keep it or ask way more than what I was asking for it.This is VERY rare and impossible find.It is probably more than likely the only one in this entire region.The head and cabinet have matching numbers.It has 8-10 inch speakers that will literally blow windows out of your house,I know because I've done it and it was only turned up to 4 and I wasn't even playing through my preamp!!!You could actually play in a BIG venue and not even run through the mains.If you want the baddest bass amp ever built give me a call I promise you won't be dissappointed.I should actually be asking about $10,000.00 for this.I will probably regret selling this for many years to come.If you know a collector or you're a bass player who wants to be envied by all other musicians call me.850-625-6833
