I just picked up a Yamaha Attitude bass in this color...might be letting it go if anyone is interested. Thought it was worth a try, but not for me.

Rats. Is this the same Sea Green V63 that was sold by Tim (sorry, don't remember last name) a few months ago? Well, looks like it's gone, anyway.

Doesn't matter, I just blew my bass budget on a GK 700RB 115 combo amp on ebay last night. $660 for what appears to be an excellent condition item. I may end up getting an extension cab with 2x10. Stand by for action!

Paul, I have the GK 700RB 210 combo with a 115 extension and love it but it is heavy for a combo.

I love that color. I can't get the ad up, though. How much did it sell for?

The ad has been deleted. I don't know the selling price, but it was listed at $2,500 US.

This bass was 5 minutes from where I live. He told me he got it from "a guy in N.J.", I 'm assuming it was Tim Sarter's at one point....

Sell price?

$2575.00

Yes indeed!
I picked it up yesterday afternoon at his house....really nice fellow! He told me he tried to buy it from Mike Parks awhile back and found it to be sold. Then, I believe he said he got it off ebay earlier this year, played it awhile and found that he liked the c64 neck better. He also has a c64 that I got to play around with briefly. First time playing one of those....
It is a 9.9 out of 10. I think I may have overpaid a bit, but for something as rare as hens teeth......
I can't believe how fortunate I've been here recently....I mean , this guy was literally 5 minutes from where I live!

Funny thing, I don't remember seeing this on the 'bay.....how about any of you guys?

Now more than ever you are in need of a satellite storage facility...I'm here for you.
