for sale

Great bass! What is your price?  
Thanks Uli

That's a sweety...I have some interest and I'm sure a few others from here as well.
 I bet she sounds Super!

Elwood's right...I just sent you an e-mail.

No logo?  Maybe it's the angle of the camera, but I don't see any holes on the headstock either.

Nor do I, but the serial number looks right so I don't think it's a refinish job, and the wood's too nice to be a Fernandes.

I think I can see the holes for the logo in the serial number tilt picture. For the new owner: have the bass shipped here first. We can install the logo and give it the once-over (no charge for testing!). That way you will save some shipping charges.

Very nice.  I'm very interested!

what is the scale length?

The following is the response I got from the seller last night:
 
The top and back wood is Padouk the body is mahogany  
 
no noise was played 5 yrs ago  
 
no power cords or special cord all can be bought at music store
 
serial # 78-1255
 
Model # SSBI date of completion 9/5/78
 
13000.00 obo  
 
This was owned by Stevie Ray Mays of the Temptation

No power supply or 13 pin cord?  (But you can get these at a music store? yea, right)
 
No sound/Doesn't work?
 
No logo?
 
BUT it was owned by some guy with 2/3 of Stevie Ray Vaughn's name !!! WOW!!!!! (The Temptations web site lists all members, past & present.  No Stevie Ray Mays)
 
Why waste $3000-$3500 on a used Series I in fine shape with all the accouterments when you can have this baby for only $13,000!!!!?  
 
Dream on.
 
Bill, tgo

Thought price was a typo, maybe $3000.00 or best  offer. Wasn't aware that power supply was missing,was emailed that logo was stolen.Anyone interested  I have an Exploiter once viewed by Phil Stanley Entwistle in the band GratefulWho, asking $40,000 OBO

I ran a search.  There's a bass player in Portland named Stevie Ray Mays.

I also emailed the sellor, since I live near by. Got the same $13,000 nonsense and a story how they are selling it for some uncle.

I think it's a Fernandez. I had one with a spectacular zebra top. It had no logo either, no holes as well- but evidence on the headstock that some type of logo had been attached. I remember seeing a Fernandez at Leo's Music in Oakland around '78 that had an Alembic logo attached. These were the years of Japanese knockoffs, quite a few hit the shores before anyone took action.
