I had always wanted to check these out when they first came out and never got around to it. I've been having some issues with my left hand lately, so I thought it'd be a good idea to have a shortie in the arsenal again. Did a little looking and was able to grab this one on eBay for a good price...
I was able to pick this the other day at local pawnshop.... It's a Fender American Special P Bass in honeyburst finish. really clean, sounds great, lightweight, and it set up just fantastically!
The best thing .... I talked them down from the already ridiculously low price of $399 .... I was...

Thanks for looking!

The short time I've been a participant on TalkBass, I haven't seen any posts regarding the treasures one might find while perusing their local pawn shop. I recently took a trip to visit Uncle Sam's Pawn Shop, located at the corner of 5th and Main (where else?) In Columbus, Ohio.
They...
My wife convinced my oldest he should be a gui**** because "they get to solo." On the one hand, I could point to many talented bass soloists, but on the other hand I don't much like bass solos, so...anyway, he's been doing Suzuki classical guitar and learning to sight read standard notation...
Hey all,
I just bought a "Brand New" Fender Pawn Shop Mustang (MiM) online from a dealer, and it came very nicely mummified in bubble wrap, minus gig bag, or case. My ? Is, do these pawn shop mustang's come with a case or bag from Fender? From my research, It looks like they might have...
So I was browsing around the internet and Upton site yesterday and thinking of just how much I missed owning an upright (I sold my blond Thompson RM-100 last year and an Engelhardt Swingmaster prior to that). I've been thinking if I purchased another I'd be wanting an Upton Standard but was a...
I just purchased my second on-line bass in 15 years from a pawn shop. Mistake! Both were electronically challenged and needed much work. These resellers don't know squat about basses especially high end basses. Luckily after hours of work I now have my new/old 2001 Warwick Corvette Proline...
Hello All,
I'm looking to purchase a Fender Mustang Pawn Shop Bass, preferably in Competition White with blue racing stripes. I'd prefer an instrument in clean condition, with minimal scratches, dings, etc. But I have no problem if you've replaced the pickup, as I'm probably going to do so...
Saw this odd looking P-Bass at a pawn shop behind the counter, it doesn't look like any Fender basses I've seen and the Upper Horn looks like it got shaved down a bit. Anyone seen something like this before and know anything about it or is it a parts bass? The serial number I the neck came up to...
I scoured the shops and Craigslist for a $50 4-string, and got this for $65. I've never seen a nastier fretboard.
The plan is to take the neck (with headstock cut off) and electronics and make a travel bass that is 35" OAL and about 4" wide at the bridge, but with a normal 34" scale and Jazz...
Ive had my p bass for 8 years but I'm out of ideas on whats new to learn, I play usually blues and electric blues.
So I been thinking about the fender pawn shop bass VI cause it is a bass and I think I can add more new techniques to it, however. I'm a little worried it might not work with me...
I'm thinking about getting one but witch one is best? Im looking for answers to ppl that try out both of them by the way.
Edit: I'm truly a bassist but I the reason I want something like this is to add more notes to low ends and high ends.
So I went by a pawn shop today, and, lo and behold, I found this... beauty. So much mojo. Too much mojo for its own good. I plan on cleaning this bad boy up and get it working decently again, and wanted to document a before, perhaps during, and after.
Here it is:
Pawn Shop Bass 1 by Gaebrial...
So I was making the rounds at the local pawn shops today, and I came across a Sterling Ray34 at what looked to be a very reasonable price, $399.99 . Well, though it's a great bass and certainly worth that, I wasn't really prepared to pay that much for it. I tend to not buy things unless they...
Several of you have recommended this to me, and I've seen its merits touted on many OD/distortion threads. I found one, in near mint condition, with the box... For $50. This is a worthy pickup, yes???
I picked this guy up for 80 bucks plus a holding fee at a pawn shop. They had it mislabelled as a Ibanez Gio. I didn't know what it was right away other than I was sure it was a Soundgear, so I paid a bit for them to hold it, then asked folks here on TB to see what it was. I picked this up this...
I often see TBers post a new bass that seems to be a great deal, and I wonder why I don't find these deals. Well, I think my turn might have come along.
I was looking around pawn shops for a Fender Squier Bronco bass. I have a CIJ Mustang and I wanted a second neck to de-fret for a short...
Hi all,
I have a Mustang short scale bass that, because of it's shorter proportions, is a little headstock-heavy. I'm looking into lightening the headstock with lightweight tuners -- Gotoh Reso-Lites, or Hipshot Ultralights.
Anyone have experience with either? Will they make a significant...

Hello! I have been in possession on my Strobel 3/4 mb80 anno 2008 for a good 8 years and it is still in like new condition with no scratches or chips anywhere. It has its own soft gig bag and bow, both also in good condition. When i brought it in for the guy to take a look he offered 500$, is...
Found a 4x10 LH500 combo amp at the local pawn store. It's used, has a couple of tears in the tolex and one of the metal corners is bent out and needs to be replaced. It's well used but not too worn.
Same unit as this video,
$299.99
Would you jump on it? Been there for 3 weeks now.
Spotted a Cowpoke today at a local shop and played it for a bit. It Has a GREAT NECK ON IT! The EQ worked perfectly, and although there are a few dings in the finish, it's a pretty sharp looking 'burst, in my opinion. And LIGHT as a feather ... Still tempted to go back there and pick it up ...
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
I've come to the conclusion that a whole lot of used basses in pawn shops (under $500 new) are originally purchased by people just learning the instrument. These basses are often barely played and a great price, since the owners usually want to...
There is a pawn shop about an hour north of here that has an old Woodson 4-channel amp with a reverb on it. The shop is selling it for a $45 tag. Is this something that would be worth my time going to get and dragging home?
