Vintage Epiphone Bass with Amp $350 OBO - $350 (Raleigh)

Date: 2010-09-21, 10:57PM EDT
I have two (2) VINTAGE items for sale:

Epiphone ET 285 4 string bass
Epiphone E-20-B amplifier

I haven't played it in about 10 years, but it is still in playing conditon. I put new flatwound strings on it around 1998, and it hasn't seen much play time since then. My grandfather bought it in the early or mid 70s, and played it until the mid 90s when he gave it to me. I played a little but never really made the time to learn enough to play well. There are no scratches or gashes, it is in very good shape. It comes in the original case, with 2 picks, 3 cables and a shoulder strap. I'm asking $350 OBO for bass and amp. It's been in my family for almost 40 years now!

I will not separate the two, as they were purchased together and add to the vintage nature of each.

I can email more pictures if interested.

I would think that $250 would be a good deal.

Not great but not bad, I like $250.00 a whole lot better  :) These bass don't get a whole lotta love but if you can get it for a good price it would be fun to have around.
