Awesome Bass Guitars For Sale (Rickenbacker, etc) (Owings Mills)

Selling 3 of my basses. One of which is EXTREMELY rare!

First up, my 1988 Rickenbacker (USA) Blackstar. Officially, only 200 were made. I've been told that the number was more like 150, but don't know that for certain. In any case, it's an AWESOME player. Has a few nicks and dings, but nothing too severe. I have two sets of pickups for it. More info on this Limited Edition can be found here --> http://www.rickbeat.com/modelslibrary/4 ... ckstar.htm You will likely never see one for sale again. Most used Rics sell for $1400 on up and given that this is a super rare Ric, it's prob worth well over $2000. For a VERY quick sale, I'll let it go for just $1800. First to commit, gets her!

...

NO SCAMMERS! CASH IN PERSON ONLY!!!!

Location: Owings Mills
You would need somebody local to the seller to act as a go-between, of course.

Robert, now that you are over 30 posts, if you are still looking for one, you might want to start a thread in the Rickenbackers Wanted section of the Marketplace as suggested by Jeff.

I have already emailed on this one....no response as of yet.

So the Blackstar arrived...according to the MotherShip, it is #17 of 200. I am about to start surgery...have to put the OG rear pickup back in and source the correct front pickup. I am going to go thru all the wiring and make it right....great neck...has the "normal" amount of tail lift....gonna have to find another 7 screw....since this has been well played, the bridge mod won't really matter. If anyone has a front pup from 88/89, let me know...
