nick Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Nice L/H Maya Jazz, looks in good condition. If it's anything like my P-Bass & Rickenfaker - a lovely instrument, worth the price IMHO. Shame it's a lefty!

Bassassin Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Nice - but being a lefty & a bit on the dear side (considering the twin truss Rick copy sold for £170 yesterday - ) means it probably won't sell. Maybe it's the time of year - but JapCrap isn't selling the way it was a couple of months back. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Rick copy did go quite cheap, considering prices seen in the past months for similar basses. You could have ended up with a matching pair of Kasugas there! Talking of which my Kasuga ES-175 ends today, though I'm not too unhappy with it's current price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey - didn't know that was your ES-175! Not a bad price atm, still time for some eleventh-hour Ebay madness. And you do know that Kasugas [i]weren't[/i] made in the Tokai factory, don't you? J.

This is plainly quantifiably different - but all's fair in love, war & Fleabay! And I take it you're a happy boy with the final price? J.
