[quote name='NancyJohnson' post='621927' date='Oct 9 2009, 07:08 PM']Looking to see whether there are any interesting trades against this bass.
I really had the hots for a Bongo and landed this 5HH a couple of months back, but it's not for me. It's difficult to quantify exactly why this bass doesn't work for me; being 100% honest here, it's quite beautiful to look at (it's a great piece of art), monster tone, but this is the only active bass is my collection and I just find it difficult to use as a back-up bass as it's so mental compared with my DJ5. Aside from the prerequisite little-ding-at-the-end-of-the-headstock the bass is mint. Desert Gold finish, Music Man hardshell case, Dunlop Strap-loks, custom pickguard.
At present I'm struggling to think what I could trade this against, I've been racking my brain most of the afternoon...Gibson Thunderbird (has to be white), a Spector 5-string NS, maybe even a Rickenbacker 4001/3 so long as it was black. Don't know. If you have anything [i]interesting[/i], let me know.
Anyhow, here's some pics:

Edit: If I can make a little edit here; obviously I'm reasonably aware of what the bass is worth from a monetary perspective, so it's market value is more than a Thunderbird, and maybe on par with a Spector or Rickenbacker. I'm not going to trade this away and make a loss; I'd sooner hang onto it and punt it again in a few months if this was the case. I'd just like to thank my wife for pointing that out to me. Sorry to be blunt. [/quote]

Might be an idea to add an acceptable Cash Price!
