Any of you guitar players tired of those ridiculously longer, four-string variants, I'd like to take a VA900B off your hands.

Already have a fretless version, would love a fretted to go along with it.

Feel free to PM me if you want to unload one.

-Alex

Bloody hell.... good luck with that one, man; I think there are three on the boards and I'm pretty sure Don, Kees and Johann aren't quite ready to shift them on yet!!

Good luck though!! :D

Good luck from my side too! The bass is as rare as the 12-string guitar version.... 8-)

Don't give up the search.
You will find one someday.

Wow, I wasn't expecting so many replies so soon. But then again, these aren't the kind of replies I was hoping for. :(

I know the 900B/FL is rare, but I didn't think the fretted version was that rare. Well, I ain't going anywhere, I'll be right here when you're ready to sell...

Although times aren't as good as they used to be, I'm not desperate enough to put that one up for sale, sorry ... Maybe someone else is. They're out there. Not that many (mine tried out my patience, too). Good luck! (Wanna loose your fretless? I'l be your huckleberry ... :D I'd sell my moterbike to get my hands on that one :D )

You guys are not going to believe this, but I have one on the way already. (Well, I sure hope it is as advertised, but I have no reason to doubt them, it is from a retail outlet in the States.) :hyper:

You have to get in line behind Pierre, I think he has dibs on that one. (I'm going to put him in my will, as long as I'm in his for that Raven (or Aria, or preferably Pan) violin bass. I can add you, you'll be second in line. Now you just have to outlive both Pierre and me.) :lol:

I'll keep you all updated in the Vantage forum when it comes in — I've found my camera! I'll do more pics of the pair of them.

Woohoo!

Thanks Barry. I am stoked... I feel like a kid at Christmas. :lol:

Black pickups? Never mind... discussion in the Vantage forum when she shows up.
