Hey out there!

I'm selling a 5-string Godin BG-5 in the Pittsburgh area. If anyone is interested, feel free to let me know. I've decided that active electronics really just aren't for me and have moved on to other passive basses (like my old Peavey T-40). I'm also looking for a passive 5-string on the cheap, or maybe on with a passive/active switch. That'd be cool.

I'm asking $600 for the whole deal. Brand new strings. Hardshell case. Gorgeous finish. No dings, dents, or scars. I take good care of my instruments.

Peace,
J

I could not purchase one myself but I would still love to see a picture even if it has already been sold. smile Also is this by chance on of the Godin series?

I'd be happy to send you a few pics of it. I don't know what you mean, exactly, by the Godin series, but it is a Godin. It hasn't been sold yet either. But I have a few people looking at it. $600 is a big purchase, and I understand that.

I don't think I can add pictures on here, so it might be best if you sent me a private message with your email address on it. One from G-mail would probably be best, as the pictures are larger. Otherwise, I would have to send them one at a time.

The site I was visiting last night (I think a fan site only) listed both Godin and Godin series, I thought maybe there was a difference? I just wanted to see a photo since the site I was looking at showed many different styles, if I can dig the site up I will let you know about it. And yes, that is some pocket change there.

BTW, after you sell the Godin, for
another $100 or $200 you can get a
used G&L 5-string with both active
and passive modes on the same bass.

I think I'm actually keeping the Godin at this point. Before, I needed to sell it. Now, I just need to hold on to it until I can even think of buying a new 5/6-string again. I still want an MTD Kingston 6 particularly, but that will have to wait.

I've been keeping the Godin up well though...and it's been sounding better than ever.
