I almost want to bid on it... the case alone is proabaly worth $200. This guy sell mostly gun paraphernalia and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles....

 

[jongitarz]

Sounds legit to me!

 

[kilgore777]

Sounds legit to me!

Yeah.... the thing got yanked off eBay...

Oh, well, back to selling bazookas and nuclear subs, I guess...

 

[Bassplyr]

That must sure be a quality bass for only $76!

 

[brewer]

Must have been a carvin.

 

[JB1]

Modified of course....

The only thing that could make it better is to throw it in a firepit!

I happen to love those, too. The Ovation with flats is a great sounding bass. And, don't knock stereo basses until you've tried one. Sending each pickup into it's own amp is a luxury most bass players don't get to enjoy, but it creates a wall of sound that guitar players are scared to be in the same state with!

Sorry man.... I am sure it was innovative for the time. But those looks....

And stereo is a nice idea, but I don't think it is terribly practicle, not for me at least. I think bi-amping is a better alternative- and you don't need a special bass.

And I think bi-amping sounds like crap. So, to each his own.


And, whoever said practical was better? Don't forget--this is from an era when bass players would routinely take TWO SVT 8x10 cabs to bar gigs...

 

[kilgore777]

Yeah... the seventies.... (or late seventies)... *sigh* I remember reading about Jonh Entwistle's gear- it was insane! I think he had a huge seperate amp for each string or something. Good point about the practicality....

Still like bi-amping, though.... works fer me.

And, that's the important thing.
