Its amazing to think that someone even has a collection of such items in Korea. Or at least it was until I considered how many English teacher hobbiest photo enthusiasts have multiple thousands of dollars invested in the gear if not tens of thousands. At least camera gear is smaller.
Seriously though, nice bass guitars.
If I wasn't more seriously interested in photography and hadn't stopped playing the bass the Ibanez would be my first pick. |

I'm interested in the Ibanez, but not at the current exchange rate.
I'll pay closer to 450,000krw than the current exchange of 662,000krw.
Let me know if there is any leeway there.
cheers

Sorry Sojukettle... I'd rather hang onto that one before letting it go below what I consider to be fair market value. That bass was $800 US when it was bought new a few years ago. My price is fair. Thanks for your interest though.

| Has broken truss rod adjustment nut |
Does this imply big damage or little damage? |

| i consider a broken truss rod to be serious damage, almost writeoffable. but i'm not sure what a broken truss rod NUT is - the little screw thingy? if it's a minor thing, i wonder why the seller wouldn't take 5 minutes to fix it before selling the guitar. |

| The broken truss rod on the semi acoustic model is a real concern... If you want to adjust the neck... The rod is still in place doing it's job. The little adjustment nut that was welded to the top of the rod has been sheared off... The bass is certainly repairable but it'd probably cost $300 to have a new rod installed. I just never got around to it because the bass plays great and needs no adjustment at this time. I've had it for several years and never needed to adjust anything... It's up to the new owner if they want to put some $$$ into it for the peace of mind it may bring or if they just want to play it. |

| i guess the bottom line is that the acoustic bass could be risky, but is probably ok. honestly, i've adjusted a truss rod maybe twice in 15 years of playing guitar. if the neck is straight, i.e. not twisting, then the truss rod is doing its job and the bass will sound fine. check for buzzy notes on the first few frets and eyeball down the length of the fretboard. |

| hey, i appreciate your honesty about the condition of your guitars. a lot of people either wouldn't realize about it or wouldn't bother mentioning it. plus the green gibson and the p bass are kickass. |
