Guild Pilot Bass with Hipshot and Double Gigbag

[lsimy]

Got this guy recently and can't really get on with the jazz bass width. Awesome bass though that I hate to see go. It showed up pretty worn so I cleaned it up, added new black Dunlop Straploks, a Hipshot Detuner, soldered in 2 new pots and capacitor, did a light recrown and polish on the frets, setup and new SIT nickel strings. Phew ! Indeed a bit of time into this. It has quite a few nicks and so forth and missing the trussrod cover. Still in very playable shape.

This one seems to be late 80s with passive Bartolini's (I like these better than the EMG's), a rosewood fingerboard and a dark red almost maroon finish.

Includes a used but still very usable double gigbag.

Shipping within the US only. Sorry about that.

$500 shipped.

Thanks for looking !!

My first proper lefty bass was a Pilot from that era.

I'd love to try one nowadays.

Marc, I think I had your Pilot way back when. I believe it was a grey/olive flame maple with EMG's ?

This one will have to hit the Bay come Sunday eve.

Is that you, Vinnie?

Wow... That was a long time...maybe 15 years ago? A TBL transaction, right? I don't even know if EBay had really caught on at that time. I don't even think we exchanged digital pics back then, just the honor system.

Good to hear from you, man.

Yup ! Hey Marc !!

That was indeed very early. I think ebay was just getting up and running.

Good to hear from you as well !!!!
