    NBD: Fender Pawn Shop Mustang

    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...

    The Pawn Shop...

    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...

    NGD: Pawn shop SCORE!

    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...

    Double Bass Upton Superswing! (NBD) pawn shop find.....

    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...

    Beware when buying basses on-line from pawn shops!

    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...

    Strange Fender Precision at a Pawn Shop

    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...

    NBD! Grungy pawn shop Laguna

    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...

    Is it worth to sell or trade my fender hwy 1 p bass for a pawn shop bass VI?

    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...

    Should I go for pawn shop bass VI or squier VM

    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.

    Pawn shop bass- Mojo King (pics)

    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...

    NBD: PAWN SHOP STERLING RAY34 SUPER SCORE !!!!

    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...

    NBD Ibanez SR250 - Pawn Shop Find

    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...

    NBD, Pawn Shop find

    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...

    Lightweight tuners for Mustang Pawn Shop bass?

    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...

    Clues to Look for in a Pawn Shop Bass

    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...

    Pawn Shop Find

    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?
