Bump for the weekend

This bass is exceptionally nice, whoever buys this won't be disappointed.

[quote name='richardjmorgan' timestamp='1501941061' post='3348364'] Where are you based? I'm extremely tempted to have a go on this. [/quote]Sorry Richard, but I've just sold the bass.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1501880530' post='3348060'] That's a bit tempting. Sorry too be that guy (lie ) but erm string tree. [/quote]Whoops, I should have gone to SpecSavers!!! Thanks for pointing it out.

[quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1501836221' post='3347629'] I had a play on one of these in my local shop a while back - DEEPLY impressed by the quality, play-ability, tonal range - and just the overall presence of this bass!! If I hadn't gone the s-s/lightweight route, I'd have this in a heartbeat. Also, knowing the seller, I know this will be dead right. GLWTS [/quote]I hope you are well Mike, and thanks for the kind words, and yes, you are right, this is a beauty and it's a reluctant sale, but I am seriously thinning out my basses as I have far too many!

That is outrageous!!!

Sola-Sound Tonebender Fuzz Pedal 1975!!! £495 This pedal is dated 30th October 1975 and is extremely good condition for a pedal that is 42 years old, far better than most of the examples you will see on eBay and vintage sites. There are are a few sound clips on YouTube of these pedals which will take you back to what fuzz is supposed to sounds like.

Bump for a price drop Now £495

Bump for a lovely bass.

Bump

Bump for a cracking 6 month old bass in "mint condition"

[quote name='Studio GC' timestamp='1501745649' post='3346977'] Nice bass, just sold my 50's classic P because the neck was too wide....Where are you located? [/quote]Bridgnorth, Shropshire. The neck on this bass is 38mm, I love precisions but I always fit jazz necks to them as I also find the P necks too wide.

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1501698711' post='3346748'] Still, far blacker than any other "all black" bass I've seen for sale here or elsewhere else. Are there side dots along the edge of the fretboard? [/quote]Yes, but only visible from the playing position of course

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1501696756' post='3346719'] The question is "How much more black could it be" and the answer is "None" None more black"..... [/quote]Well there is the "red" Status logo

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1501696632' post='3346715'] I wouldn't buy it...we know Brian is the meanest man on this forum. Who else would deliberately advertise this for sale just after somebody ([i]well, me actually[/i]) has paid out for 2 basses - nice basses admittedly - so needs [i]NOT[/i] to spend any money. You really wouldn't want to do business with somebody like that, [i]now would you??[/i] Brian, I hope that your internet connection goes down and you're unable to receive any emails... [i]Everybody else...STOP LOOKING AT THIS AD!! [/i] [/quote]Well you've offered me almost everything you own so far, including a kidney, but sorry Mick, NO TRADES!!!

What with all the PM's I'm getting as well as the comments on here, I'm beginning to think that I've seriously under-priced this!

[quote name='prowla' timestamp='1501694683' post='3346679'] Shame it's got a fake Fender logo on it. [/quote]It can easily be removed

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1501691527' post='3346625'] This looks fantastic - would look even better with a set of Status black tapewounds. If I hadn't just bought back my Overwater Jazz I would probably be all over this.... [/quote]I put some on in the past and it really looked the business, but with my eyesight, I couldn't see them in poor lighting, and not having any fret markers didn't help either. But you are right, it really is a nice looking bass and plays brilliantly.
