I would love that but it just seems too good to be true! Maybe if I were local...

 

Thanks for the heads up regardless!

Dude, job #1 every day is to make up your bed!

that would be around an 8 hour drive round trip for me, just a little too far!

Only $175!  Let's get it!

Too bad @Punkavenger isn't around anymore. He was in Portland (IIRC) and always super helpful.

I didn't know if the Korean models ever had a 2-Tek or not, but I thought I could just make out USA on the headstock. After zooming in I'm not so sure.

Uda is in Portland. I will be there this Wednesday.

2-tek was only on USA models, 4 and 5 string, I have one of each and they’re amazing.

If that’s def the instrument for sale it’s the deal of the century. 😎

Somebody bring that baby to the HFC!

I don't think any other builder than Hamer ( USA) ever did 2tek as original?.  - Boogie Bodies being more a one-off custom shop at that time and not really a manufacturer.

Peavey had a version of their "Axcelerator" bass with a 2-tek.

Definitely a USA, possibly a scam?

kind of odd niche 'scam bait', my vote is real, seller is uninformed.

[django49]

Message sent. No reply. Probably 45 minutes away from me. Remains to be seen if anything develops.

ETA....48 hours and no reply. I am going to assume something is not right. Or maybe it was sold already and the post was just not deleted.
