- Squier Affinity series Precision PJ bass: These basses are seriously so freaking cool. PJ basses just have a ton of tonal variety from the mix of split and jazz pickups. These sell for $180 new everywhere and the asking price on this one is $130. However, I'm positive you can probably offer $100 and take it home. I played it. It's quite nice. Apart from a couple small finish swirls on the back, this thing looks brand new.
- (this one's the wow bass) USA-made Peavey Fury Bass: I haven't ever read a bad review about these basses, except for comments that they're relatively cheap, in the $100-200 range. This one is $69. Yes, there are chips and a fairly large (~1.5" gouge) dent in the upper horn, along with the stupid stickers. But you can remove stickers and have a great sounding, American-made bass for stupid cheap.
Both of these basses are at Pawn King in Urbana, IL (see my review of shops below). The Peavey just went on clearance as it hasn't sold since the shop opened. Pretty sweet deal there.
Posted with permission from Pawn King. The 2 basses behind it are a Rogue 4-string PJ and an Ibanez Gio 5-string. Yuck to both, but just my opinion.
