Remember Calvin: try not to post your email address on public sites. There are bots and crawlers all over the net that look specifically for email addresses (i.e. you may get spam). Next time, either PM the address, or put spaces or other characters when you post your address so that the bots can't send their junk to you actual email.

This has nothing to do with Chandler basses, though.

Oh, wow! Thanks for the heads-up...That's pretty sketchy...I had no idea there were these things out there.

Thanks!

No problem - just trying to help.

alright - nobody has any other experience with these instruments? i was on the phone with andrew downing the other day, turns out that he co-designed the instrument, commissioned it and actually owned it for a while.

I have no experience with Chandler basses, but you need to take it to an experienced bass luthier to discuss the sinking top issue. The other problems are relatively minor. Get a price to repair the top properly assuming it is repairable. How much is the bass worth to you in good shape? That's the main question to be asking. You don't say what you can buy it for as is. Add the cost of repairs to the purchase price, and there you have it.

ok, good points. i could pick this bass up for $3,000. but, his widow was saying that any repair costs will be taken out of the asking price, which is pretty awesome. my only concern is that i've heard estimates of around $5,000 to fix it up. the wood and materials (and hardshell box) are worth more than the asking price.
