Hello All!
I am selling a bass that I bought a very short time ago. This is the Greg Bennett Fairlane model by Samick. This is a Great bass for the money, with this bass having the Mahogany Sunburst body. The instrument is in like new condition with up grade to the tuners and bridge. The tuners are Licensed Hipshot Ultralites and the bridge is the new Kickass model. There is no fret wear! I may have 20 mins. of play time on her. It will come with the stock bridge and the stock tuners included in the box. Sorry, no gig bag but will be properly boxed and insured for shipping.
The price for this guy is $170.00 which will include free shipping to the lower 48. Please let me know if there are any questions. Who ever get this I think will really enjoy it.
Thanks!

Filling the gap
When I Google Leo Quan, the Kickass is even recommended underneath the first link (Best Bass Gear).

Jeroen, I believe you are mixing up
Leo Quan = badass
Hipshot = kickass
Groetjes!

I'm not mixing up. Leo Quan is no more, and Hipshot are very clever to fill the gap now that new Badasses are hardly available anymore. And I wasn't kidding, Google Leo Quan and see what comes up! Hipshots Kickass is listed as a suggestion with the very first link

Got it Jeroen! And indeed the hipshot is great (I have), exact copy of the Badass, same size, same weight!

Hardware alone is almost worth the bass. Good deal.

Thanks everyone!
Lets make it a little better, how does $150.00 shipped. I'll take reasonable offers as well.
I also installed Dunlop Dual action strap buttons on it as well. The stock buttons will also come with the instrument.

Thanks for the nice comments about the bridge! I really don't want to say too much in fear that it will come off as a sales pitch.
We were asked by a lot of builders and people for a replacement, but needed to wait to confirm the fate of Leo Q's BA bridges.

Bill, if I'd been paying attention at the onset of this thread, and realized this was one of your bass's for sale, I would have bought it, and had it shipped to my sister in Cali, so I'd always have a bass there to play! Glad to see you sold this.... I've bought two basses from Bill so far, and I've got to say, there's no-one better to work with in this forum... but that isn't to say you are All Stellar to work with - Love You All!

Here's another new all stock demo, if that helps anyone. A bit higher price and no upgrades. It came up on Ebay a few days ago. Didn't post it then because the one Bill had posted was a better deal.
