Shonks

its a Mex I reckon! They're not all that popular for some reason, but they are great basses imo! I have a pimped up USA one, but before that I had one of these, and loved it!

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1323498146' post='1463933'] Oy Shonks, naff off with the making it easier to buy , your price reductions and sexy new photos. I haven't sold my Attitude yet, but you are out tempting others ? Away at my Mothers for a couple of days, if it's still here when we return I will start to make a concerted effort to sell mine. All the best, Karl. [/quote] I think your safe...everybody seems to be skint - regards to your mum - and go to bed when she says so!!

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1323681004' post='1465604'] I fitted one to mine. all but one screw which i about 1mm out, so i stuck it in at a wee angle and it was fine. (the gold anodised ones have less screws than normal) [/quote]the USA one just fitted without any adjustments - which was nice...!

interested in trades of any kind??

[quote name='mckendrick' timestamp='1323627274' post='1465204'] 'ey up Shonks. Have you changed the nut? And is the neck a satin finish? Looks a bit satin-ish in the pix. Also.... does anybody know if the US anodised aluminum pickguards fit the Jap models...? [/quote] Haven't changed the nut, but that doesn't mean the previous owner didn't. The neck is regular Fender style gloss finish but the front of the headstock is satin - ish. The black plate fitted in the pictures is a Fender USA plate straight off my 2003 USA 'P'

[quote name='BB2000' timestamp='1323546117' post='1464523'] That's the lower specification basswood body bass, so if it's the original pickup it won't be the "US" version. [/quote] I wouldn't know if it was basswood or Alder, is that a big deal? Aren't the £1500 Musicman Bongo basses made of basswood? I think they are. If the pickup is Japanese or USA it has little bearing on the case as far as I'm concerned, I've seen USA p'ups on eBay go for less than £20 s/h, and just to reiterate, I said 'I believe these basses come with a USA p'up' and was no way emphatic about it. Whatever the p'up is on this bass, I can say right now it sounds the bizznezz!! The neck on this is far from low spec btw. if your interested and come and check it out, I promise not to threaten you with violence if you don't buy it!! It's a wicked bass, and it wouldn't upset me it I have to keep it. I have 2 other basses on here to sell or trade, a MM Stingray, and a USA P bass hotrod. The USA 'P' has Bartolini p'ups on it, I'm sure of that as it has their name embossed on the cover. I have no intention of trying to mislead or sell a duffer. Check out my feedback, the few out of the many who bothered to leave me some will indicate what I'm like....a total git maybe...but a honest git! aye fank yoo!!

[quote name='wal4string' timestamp='1323299356' post='1461895'] Hang on in there mate. Withdrew mine as I will be out of the country, and would you Adam and Eve it bass is now sold, if it had been 24 hours later deal wouldn't have happened. [/quote]what are you suggesting?? should I withdraw this then?? hahaha!

[/quote]well, thanks for the heads up ... a real mate!! you better be right or that's defamation, and you'll have to buy it...hahahaha!

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1323530813' post='1464270'] not the same then. Mine was similar- and pretty amazing. Lovely neck on your too I guess [/quote]gorjuss neck!

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1323509805' post='1463979'] oooh looks like my old one, did you buy it off someone in dundee? [/quote]bought this from a guy in Wickford Essex,,,,,,of course, I don't where he got it from!

[quote name='xytras 1978' timestamp='1322557903' post='1452426'] A trade, my MM for your MM. [/quote] don't wanna trade my Stingray for a Stingray for obvious reasons

[quote name='xytras 1978' timestamp='1322505462' post='1451779'] Trades with a MM Stingray 4 2EQ, sunburst, rosewood fretboard from 1993? [/quote] not quite sure what your proposing....??

[quote name='Matt_UK' timestamp='1322311530' post='1449192'] PM'd [/quote] i'll get back to ya!

no offence intended everyone...chill....it was just a knee jerk reaction to what, imo, is a lot of money for any bass, I never questioned the value or the politics or whatever you lot are going on about, and had no intention of scuppering the sale of the bass, in fact I wish you nothing but the best!!!!! so take this as a good will bump!!

blimey, a bit expensive, is it that good? that's two USA fenders, a couple of Music Man basses and a Warwick right there,,!

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1322237843' post='1448473'] What's it's DOB? [/quote] DOB 2005 - its got the new style nut if that's an indication and the serial looks like a 2005 according to that MM enthusiast site...you know the one

[size=5]£800[/size] nothing to say about this bass except its immaculate, beautiful, and plays great!! and its killing me to part with it!!

your welcome - oops - another bump - that's lucky - !

have a bump on me..........!
