@cetera is after a Soul Food (although I realise that doesn't help you sell as a job lot!)

PS, its pictured with La Bella Mustang Superpolished strings (a recently introduced sort of flat/round hybrid). I decided I preferred the regular Mustang flats (pictured in clear bag with tort s/p) which are now back on the bass. However, I am happy to throw in the Superpolished set as part of the deal, so you have options.

Fender CIJ Mustang bass in excellent condition. Bought from top BCer lozz196 a few months back. It really is a fabulous bass and I am only selling to fund the purchase of a bass on this forum that I really desire! Therefore no trades, thanks. Serial number dates it to 2007-2010. Nicely creamy olympic white body. Has an after market black 3 ply scratchplate (as I wanted a punkier/rockier look) but comes with original tortoiseshell scratchplate (pictured). Also has a string retainer fitted to hold A string taut, but this is entirely removable. Weighs just under 8 pounds and comes with new Fender gigbag. Wearing La Bella Deep Talkin' Mustang flatwound strings. Price of £700 is a chunky discount from what I paid, especially considering the new scratchplate, strings and gigbag, but hopefully reflects post-Christmas economic reality. Collection from a safe public space in SW13 London (Barnes) or delivered for an extra £20.

Would also trade for a very good condition/unused set of TI flats (as the existing set on my Ric are years old and a bit tatty at the silks due to removing and refitting many times)

Bought these from StringsDirect for £69 to fit an old 70s Ric, which had previously been wearing TI jazz flats, as I wanted a little more bite to the sound. However, the super low tension (which is >10% lower than TI flats at 122 pounds) of the jazz rounds turns out to be too low to work with the peculiarities of the neck. The A/D/G are unclipped and essentially mint, the E silk is slightly clipped (a couple of inches) but would have no problem fitting well on a 4 in line as well as a 2+2 headstock. Enjoy my financial pain and grab these for £40 plus a few quid for post.

Thank you gents. I would be happy to accept the same offer the retailer* made which was £800 for the bass (delivery would be extra and at cost). Its already sitting there, boxed up..... * I won't name and shame as I don't want to damage one of the very few bass specialist shops we have (although I am obviously voting with my feet).
