UPDATE: We did the plane and refret. Still for sale, just updated price to to $999 plus shipping to account for the work: https://www.guitarmalfk.com/shop/c/p/Robin-Freedom-II-x95909696.htm Check out this Very Good+ condition Robin Freedom II bass in Robins Egg Blue?? (prob Surf Green). This one has had the works - new ElectroSocket output jack plate, HipShot triple string tree, new bone nut and a complete plane and refret as the neck was wavy-gravy unplayable when we first got it. We opted for a satin nitro finish on the neck versus a gloss. This appears to be an early import model (ESP-build) based on tilt neck, skunk stripe and that it originally had a two-string round string tree, but we can't pinpoint anything definitively. Original body finish, pickups, internal electronics - sounds HUGE and plays very, very good. The humbuckers are something else. Very articulate and punchy. Neck is clean as it gets, frets are perfect. Body shows some light wear - a few divots and dings - but is extremely clean considering this one is at least 30 years old. No case or gigbag, but will be packed accordingly if shipping. $999+shipping Original post: Heya! I know we've got some Robin fans here. I have a Very Good+ cosmetic condition Robin Freedom II bass in Robins Egg Blue?? (prob Surf Green) for sale. We bought it from a repair customer who just wanted out from under it after he saw the repair quote. That was after we had already put on a new ElectroSocket output jack plate, HipShot triple string tree and a new bone nut. So it does have that going for it! Looks great, sounds great, BUT - after a fret dress, we still couldn't get the buzz ironed out. Neck is a bit wavy-gravy and it will need plain and refret to play right. Anyways, our repair shop has gotten too busy to work this one in without sacrificing timelines on customer work, so we're looking to move it along to one of you fine folks! Customer indicated it was an early import model (ESP) based on tilt neck, skunk stripe and that it originally had a two-string round string tree, but I can't pinpoint anything definitively. $shipped/payment method of your choice. No case or gigbag, but will be packed accordingly. More pics available upon request.

SOLD and staying in the family!

8 pounds 5 ounces! @scottcald

Skinny-ish on this one - measures about .85 at the first to .9 at the 12th. As for smell.. no odors, new or old

Heya! My friend is selling the extremely clean 1985 Hamer Special that he bought last year. Details in link, feel free to hit me up here or at the shop with any questions. Great guitar! https://www.guitarmalfk.com/shop/c/p/Hamer-Special---Vintage-1985-wHamer-HSC-CLEAN-x98256780.htm

Shredder search update: - tried the G&L. quite liked it. played it for 30 mins in the shop, was ready to pull the trigger, then they told me it had sold earlier that day ?? oh well. - tried the Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas at GC -- needed a good setup, but I didn't find much I liked about, even with that in mind. Can say I'm not a big fan of unfinished necks. Was sitting in the GC parking lot, feeling kinda bummed, and got a text about a Hamer from my local CL. Guy had an amazingly clean 1990 Hamer Centaura in the granite finish. I bought it on the spot after playing it. This thing smokes. Love the neck. It sounds great -- though I will definitely switch out the single coils. Look for a NGD here soon. thanks for all the help. I dunno, the Hamer feels like home

Slight tweak to my original thread: anyone ever play one of the old G&L Climax Plus guitars? I know it's quite a departure from the Modern, but it looks cool. The one I'm scoping is an Ash body in cherry burst, maple neck/board. Old Gotoh trem. I'd be getting it for about $500 -- I have not had a chance to play it yet, and won't until later this week. Any cautions/kudos? There's very little info on the net about them. Or eBay Thanks

Thanks again, fellas. 24 frets isn't necessarily a deal breaker. I'm goanna check out a used Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas style 1(HH, black, maple board) at my local GC. They have it listed at $749 -- is that a descent price for a used MIJ one w/case? I'll report back any thoughts.

Hadn't considered a Wolfgang. Hmmm. Well, I guess I have a lot to consider - which is a good thing. Nathan, those look pretty cool. I'll check them out.

Thanks folks. Nathan, I actually have a Yamaha RGX620s. It's super cool, but it lacks the refined quality of a Modern that I've had a hard time finding in any other shredder-type guitars. I may have to give the Diablo another shot -- I had one years ago, before I knew what I had -- that I ended up selling in favor of an Anderson Drop Top. Chap could be cool too. I've never played one. Are they mostly alder? Or I may just have to pony up for a Modern Thanks again, Case

OK, so I love the Suhr Modern. I feel like it was the most versatile "shredder" guitar I've ever played. It could do a lot more than shred. Which for me, was perfect. I don't really shred, but I love the quick playabiltiy, super resonant Alder body, neck shape and Gotoh floyd trem for subtle stuff. Unfortunately, can't quite swing the cost at this time for a pro, let alone a custom. I've been looking for a Rasmus Modern, but apparently, they don't make them anymore, and NO ONE is selling. I'm looking for suggestions for other 24 fret shred-ish type guitars I should consider, with the Suhr Modern as the comparison. For under $1k. Any Hamers fit the bill? Thanks, Case

Tommy, if you get a reply and he won't ship, I can potentially enable. I'm in Lawrence KS, near KC. Case caseygree@aol.com

oohh. That's cool. I'll PM you for more details. thanks, case

Thanks for the leads, folks. Potential trade deal, and possibly one to buy that I found on a deep google search. We'll see. I'll let you all know how it turns out. Anymore floating around, hit me up. thanks again, Case

Thanks dudes. Let me know if you see any floating around that aren't on here the bay. Figure here's the place to look. Darren, I think I actually sent you a message today on HC about an Emerald one. I take it it's gone? thanks, case

All right, been looking for one of these for years, have watched plenty come and go here, but think it's about time I take care of business.. I have a few things I can trade, but that is not a deal breaker. (Tom Anderson Drop Top w/Floyd, Dobro Hound Dog) The only catch -- I'm not really looking for a $2k flamed elite... or $3.5K, for that matter... The beat-up solid color or even sparkly ones are more my type (and price range), but I'll listen to whatever you've got. If you have a super-awesome Centaura or Chap you think I should consider instead, let me know why and how much. Also might consider a JP6 - but again, would prefer an older/less purdy one between the $800-$1k mark.. thanks all, Casey
