[quote name='1970' timestamp='1352411973' post='1862850'] any idea of the year? [/quote] No, sorry. Doesn't appear to be a serial number so can't tell.

[quote name='highwayone' timestamp='1352402026' post='1862676'] Looking to sell on as I have 3 basses, 2 guitars and a drum kit and room is running out! It's a cracking bass and I'll be sorry to see it go. The cases alone sell for £60 so it's a bargain for someone. It has the odd scuff on the head and has 3 drilled holes where a previous owner has tried moving the strap buttons. Collection or can post for the cost of a courer(about £15) thanks [/quote] Looking to sell on as I have 3 basses, 2 guitars and a drum kit and room is running out!

I'll take it if it's still available

Will it take a thunderbird? I read somewhere that it prefers Gibson symmetrical type headstocks. Cheers

Pick up from Leicester or may be able to meet within a reasonable distance from there.

Priced to go!

[/quote] I found a page on google similar to this [url="http://www.ovationgallery.com/page6stringacad.htm"]http://www.ovationgallery.com/page6stringacad.htm[/url] which described the guitar. The model number AOV-170 stands for [font=comic sans ms, cursive][color=#ff0000]A[/color][/font]cademy[font=comic sans ms, cursive] [color=#ff0000]O[/color][/font]vation [font=comic sans ms, cursive][color=#ff0000]170[/color][/font]

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1346415432' post='1788949'] What went wrong with the electrics if you don't mind me asking? Do you have the battery cover still? [/quote] It was just a loose connection, the battery cover was missing when i bought it. I just threaded a piece of material around the battery so i could pull the battery out when i needed to. Think they're quite generic and can still be bought but i never bothered looking into it.

Price drop

Selling due to downsizing. It's in reasonably good condition with the odd ding here and there but plays really well has has decent action on it, would benefit from a new set of strings but still stays in tune very well. The odd rust blemish on the bridge and pitting on the tuners too but a good honest workhorse. A previous owner has added a Fender decal on the headstock but it is a Squier! I am including a relatively new fender strap with it too. Looking for £100 collected or £140 delivered(which will include a hardcase) Cheers.

[quote name='ChrisTheNinja' timestamp='1345479863' post='1777960'] Interested pending pics, might have to try and get rid of a couple of mine first though. Interested in a grey burst thunderbird IV or Mexican precision bass? [/quote] i'm interested in your t-bird though! sorry for the threadjack!

if you change your mind!

[size=4]Thinking of selling my electro acoustic as it hardly gets used. I think it's late eighties-ish but can't find much on the net apart from that it's made by Ovation so I guess it's their Squire/Epiphone range?? It sounds lovely through an amp and is also surprisingly loud unplugged( compared to a Stagg I bought and could hardly hear it unplugged!) It is an unusual guitar as it's made of plastic!!! which would make you think it sounds and feels cheap and terrible but it actually makes for a great sounding bass and a 'bigger sound' due to the acoustics of it. There is the odd mark, mainly a scuff on the back where I had to hacksaw the rounded off screwheads to get the electrics working again!! (pics below)and as a result the switchbox only has two screws holding it in place which is doing it's job well enough. Has had new strings . Looking for £90 collected. it does come with a gigbag to keep it safe. Thanks[/size].
