Googled the email address to see if it was anyone we know, and it looks like this has been for sale as far back as late September. Wonder why it hasn't sold. Maybe he just now made a big price reduction.

With a price that low makes me wonder if you'll be relieved of you $s and not come home with the bass.

CL, Florida, last year, listed at $400 for over a month before I found it, paid $350.


CL, Florida, last year, it had been listed for a few months, I paid $1k


As they used to say, "C'mon Down!"...only not too far south.

I doubt it, it's not an impossibly low price. It does make you wonder if there's something not being disclosed, like a break or mods, but he does say to write if you have any questions. It could just be that he needs to move it more than he needs a higher price.

Yeah your right Dave I can be such a pessimist at times.

Hey Carlo, did you get that Embassy for $350.00? Fantastic! Ain't she a Beauty!? Don't ever get any ideas about letting her go. Cause that's the kind of serious ideas I'm having right now. And just because of an Ampeg V4... Where's the world heading? ???

It has a broken headstock but really not too serious.

Maybe it's just me but I'd never choose an amp over a bass if it came down to money.

Carlo, I get your point, absolutely (my wife just got home from work, and I'm trying my best to keep a sober approach to reality) but, you know, I've got two (2). No, not wifes. I'm a Christian, for f--ks sake, but Embassies. So I can loose one without too much anxiety. Wow, time for a loooong nap...

Now I'm wondering if it's legit too. Could Nikki's sig have been on a different bass? If so, why the same description otherwise? Suspicious.
