I've had some extended play time on this bass - it's really is a gem. If I was anywhere approaching half decent on fretless I'd have had it. Bargain price for a highly regarded UK bass builder. Mr ead is a great fella to deal with too. GLWTS....

[/quote] Hi Rich - hope you are well. Its a mahogany body with a dark finish also.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1425542862' post='2708282'] Lovely... But just out of interest, what is so "classic" about the period 1990-1991? [/quote] Yep - guilty as charged for over exuberance on the sales puff here. ...25 year old = classic, things were better in the olden days, weren't they?? Will amend to something more sensible.

[quote name='thebigyin' timestamp='1424109732' post='2692734'] If I could sell one of my Classical Guitars I would have this off you. Will be in touch if I get any joy. Good luck with the sale. [/quote] Good luck with the Classical Guitar!!

[quote name='bassix' timestamp='1424080085' post='2692203'] Whats the nut width on these? [/quote] Nut width is 40mm

Thanks, its not getting much use as I'm back to leaning towards 5ers. As can be seen, its less than pristine so hopefully reflected in the price.

I have a very similar 5 string. Great bass and a ridiculous price.

[quote name='petergales' timestamp='1424079538' post='2692194'] Trades? [/quote] No thanks - looking for a sale only please.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1424039230' post='2691963'] Wow man, you get through some nice gear. I love the wood on that neck! [/quote] I go through a buying phase then a selling phase....had a band on the horizon, gone pear shaped so selling phase it is!!!

Yes - more than happy to box up and post.

WITHDRAWN - WILL TRY SOMETHING ELSE!
