Does Charvel/Jackson G.A.S. ever end???

[amimbari]

does GAS ever end????

Hey GANG, I bought a righthander 2b in white to match my white lefty 2b this weekend with a chansaw case, as I was getting sick of seeing my black righty 2b next to my white lefty 2b.

so now I will have a true set of siamese twins, and not a set of ying-yang siamese twins ( black + white )

well.....the price was right

once I get it I'll take a couple REAL pics.

Matt, thanks. There's a blue 2b on ebay but I was already outbid, and it has a few days to go and it is already up to 180.xx, and I'm done buying for a while.

if that guy on ebay who has relisted his LavaCrackle 3 times already didn't want 450.00 for his 4B, I would buy it tomorrow and sell my C.A.R. 4B.

I now have just TOOOOO many basses, and soon you may see a couple of my spare "B" series basses going up for sale somewhere

the others are a couple Dillions, and Epibird, and a older Jazzclone.

in the hey-day of me playing gigs all month, I never had more than 4 at one time, now I play less, and have 3 times that many -- I suppose it is now for "collectible" purposes.

Amimbari strikes the Bay again! What a collection you have there, man...

[amimbari]

you know what's funny, I still have not reached the 2 grand limit on buying 80's b series yet with 7 purchases.

if the lava 4b was 100 cheaper, I would sell off my red 1b to make up the difference since it don't have an emg in it.

the only thing that went up was my insurance a few dollars to cover the extra instruments.

it's a collection and fortunately, I don't have to deal with them like the poor guitarists out here ( and everywhere ), that have to deal with a lot more pricey guitars to fill up their jam rooms

i have a 3b fire crackle i might would be willing to trade for the black kahler bass! you don't really use the trem do ya mike? lol

[amimbari]

man Rob you DO want that 2b body don't you?

I'm still thinking about your reverse righty neck to drop on my lefty 2b so I can play inverted with the headstock pointing down like they usually do when the things are played normally.
for that LAVACrackle I was thinking more of the 4b bolt on body, so I could Frankenstein it and throw my 1b maple board neck on it since I have that red 1b that sits in the case.

[peabuddy]

DAMN IT MAN ! WORK WITH ME HERE ! LOL YEA i want that black trem bass bad

[Chowderboots]

It heats up in the JCF bass department!!

[amimbari]

ya let's FIGHT!!!!


fight about the fact that there is yet ANOTHER 80's Concert online this week for ---GULP 700.00 start price--the typical 1,2b basses, and that damn crackle 4b is over 550.00. MAN I WOULD LOVE to find out who is paying 600 bucks or more for a 4b crackle....

a friend said there is a white 2b on ebay....there is BUT his price with shipping would be around 350.00 with the case he is pffering.

and that's a 100 more than what I paid for the white 2b in a chainsaw case I just bought last week.

It arrived today at the house just as I was leaving, so I didnt even have a chance to check it out yet and post a review. I'll toss some pics online tonight or tomorrow with a "YAY or NAY".

[amimbari]

ok the YING-YANG Siamese twins have been separated finally.



because now I have a set of Siamese IDENTICAL twins. Just like being a GEMINI......twins forever!!!

p.s. the yellowing of the white paint is almost identical to the lefty version.. I guess age is important, and storage was not, since these both came from different people and the yellowing is similar.

Like Mexican Chili day at a truck stop, The GAS never ends.

[amimbari]

ya toneM,


I'm getting as bad as some of you guitar players with the:

"hmm, it's Monday, which one shall I jam on today" attitude

or,

the cheapness of the whole "model B series" has got the better of me once again since I already had that white lefty.

I think I would have stopped at 3 of them IF they all sounded the same, but just like an identical guitar....they don't and all sound different.

Oh good lord...how true!
