NikNik Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Spotted this earlier on today. Very much like the ESP Horizon P from the same era. Nice price, too, but shame about that hole on the headstock. Blade P-Bass Quote
Mykesbass Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 How on earth does that get described as Very Good condition? Great instruments those Blades though. Quote
NikNik Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 I know! I spotted a Lowden acoustic on ebay today, described as having 'light wear' but was pitted with dents. Quote

TheGreek Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Dave West, who used to be the UK importer, lives locally. He describes these as some of the best basses he'd ever played - and he can play. I looked at some of the other basses for sale on the site - some of the prices are a bit hopeful. https://reverb.com/item/31935153-1970s-columbus-bass-guitar-made-in-japan-roadworn-big-block-inlays Quote
Doctor J Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 An early 90’s Blade B3 remains high on my want list. Lovely, lovely basses. Quote
zbigniew Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Sorry for the zombie resurrection I saw this on Reverb also the other day, this must be a Tokai body with a Blade neck, it looks just like the Tokai VSB-60 limited edition from the 80's. I have never seen any Blade like this before. https://reverb.com/item/41279891-tokai-vsb-80-hard-puncher-1980-s-electric-bass-guitar?show_sold=true Quote
