"Pinky" NR 8 String Back Up For Sale

saltymonkey · September 28, 2013, 12:36:50 PM

I'm putting Pinky back up for sale. Bruce Johnson emailed last week to let me know my Ampeg scroll bass is being painted and should be ready to ship by the second week of Oct. Something has to go and of the few basses I have, Pinky is the least regularly played. I know everyone here is familiar with this bass so I'll just post some new pics. I'm looking for $2260.00 shipped and insured. This is what I paid for it back in April. Would prefer a check or MO but will except Paypal if necessary. I'll probably shortly list this on TB within a day or two as I'm trying to move it rather quickly and I seemed to be the only seriously interested party here when Mark had it up for sale.

I'd love it but I just can't swing it right now. In six months I'll be in a much better position.

what model scroll are you getting??? AMB 2?

only 18 months - not bad for Bruce. He has never met a scheduled delivery date ever. Kind of dealing with a combo OCD and creative geniuos. Bad combo for time schedules.

Yes AMB-2, #006. How are you liking yours Jim?

That is one of the coolest basses I've seen here at the Outpost. Hope it stays in the family somehow!

I'm going to have to list Pinky on eBay soon. I've had no real interest other than an offer to trade for a custom pink Warwick.

mine is back with Bruce. Several issues resulting in some design changes especially with the pickup and how it is installed. When i had it i loved it. sounded great. close to the SSB you sold me but even better.

I do notice that endearment with 8 string basses subsides once people actually have one. $:-\$
