picker Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm sorry about the poor picture quality, my phone cam isn't real spiffy. Apparently, it's a limited edition model, came with a brass nut and gold hardware. It's in like new condition. Even the case doesn't have a mark on it. And I paid $320 for it. Not too bad a deal, I think. Always remember that you�re unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenfxj Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Nice Picker, congrats! I always thought the Flying V shape was very cool. As 80's as the V and the Explorer look they both debuted in 1958. Bit of a nuisance to play seated is the only knock. What type of music you fixing to play with that thing? Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfxj Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Flying V trivia: A 1958-59 Gibson korina Flying V guitar in good shape can fetch a quarter of a million dollars. Personal Flying V opinion: I think the shape suits a bass considerably better than a guitar. Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picker Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 What type of music you fixing to play with that thing? Probably blues, classic rock, Lithuanian folk tunes, open-toed sandal dance music, you know, the usual stuff... Always remember that you�re unique. Just like everyone else.

Danzilla Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Excellent deal, sir - way to represent! Is it a 34" scale? A fair amount of Epi's use a shorter scale.

picker Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 It looks heavy, is it? 8.4 lbs. It's pretty light, really. It's not a boat anchor anyway. The neck is thinner than I usually like, but it feels pretty good. Always remember that you�re unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picker Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Excellent deal, sir - way to represent! Is it a 34" scale? A fair amount of Epi's use a shorter scale. 30 1/2". I don't usually like shorter scale basses, but this one doesn't sound plunky like a lot of 'em. Always remember that you�re unique. Just like everyone else.
