2000 le?

[Duarte]

I have just found a beautiful (thought to be) 2000 LE for sale, which to me just looks like a natural stingray with piezos.

Is there something else special about these? As it looked pretty normal to me.

Afaik the first Ltd Eds were in 2003?
Ok there were 20th anni SR4's in 96, but I am curious about the bass you describe. Does it say Ltd Ed on the neck plater?

 

[Duarte]

The guy who is selling says it is a 2000 LE with an LE case, and that's all I know.

 

[strummer]

That sounds like a scammer to me, or someone trying to up the price...
Have you seen pics of the bass? The case? If you post the serial the problem will be solved in no time.

 

[Duarte]

It looks like a fine bass though, I am waiting for a reply with a serial number and more pics.

 

[strummer]

It could very well be a great bass, but somehow I just get a bit apprehensive when people start throwing LE and such lingo around. Hope it's a good one=)

 

[Duarte]

Yeah I know what you mean. People will tell blatant lies in order to make a sale. I'm sure this is not the case here though.

But, I've secured my Bongo.

I'm no scammer, no price discussed, just a straight swap.

 

[Duarte]

and LE or no LE - it is a decent trade. Piezo stingray...Very expensive model.

So what's the deal with claiming it's a LE? Is it an LE or what?

Read David's thread...

I'm confused.

This must be the LE that Duarte was talking about. What makes it an LE?

It is Duarte i have been talking to. Regarding the LE side, Im not sure myself, I swapped it a few years ago from the original buyer. It is a piezo with a one piece body and the granite guard. It came with the LE case so i always accepted it was. I have no reason to think anyone would split up an LE with its LE case but you never know. Either way its a great bass.

Got it david, now I'm just curious as to what 5stringer was referring to?

Whatever, I'm thinking it's a nice bass, and piezos are fun

 

[cd_david]

Its a lovely bass and that's why i was in a dilemma over swapping, but its of no consequence now.
Thanks
David
