I almost made an offer on this bass yesterday, until I found a 5 string I had to have. It's overpriced IMO. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it - $250 shipped.

These basses tend to run a little heavy (over 9lbs in my experience), but they balance perfectly because the strap button extends past the 12th fret. That also shortens the reach to the first fret, making it feel shorter than its 34" scale.

Of course they do, since I already spent my bass budget. That's about as cheap as you're likely to find them too.

Think it sold already, I couldn't find it... unless you have a link to it. $150 would be worth it!

It looks like the only BB300 on GC is a righty.
