Re: Selmer 1430LP Bass?

Chris P.,

In the US, a lot of those instruments get back in circulation through auctions by the school districts, sealed bids for lots, or through trade-in to a dealer for newer instruments.

In many cases (like the Selmer Model 30 I have which came as a trade-in by a state university) you can really get a gem that may need minor things like a new case, a little tweaking, or a repad. In other cases, the instruments have had a hard life but can often be cannibalized like your LeBlanc.

Someone like yourself though who knows what to look for can really come up with some nice opportunities.
