Agree regarding the sleeve, looks fab. As an FYI, I investigated getting one made for my Orange TB. The only one I could find was from a custom case manufacturer in US and it would have cost around £300 alone, including customs and shipping (link below). This is a bargain! https://mooncustomcabinetry.com/products/custom-headsleeve-for-orange-terror-lunchbox-style-amps

Bought a month or two ago on the forum. Beautiful and pretty rare, especially in this condition, but it's just that little bit too heavy for me and my knackered shoulder and back at a whisker under 9 pounds. Wearing brand new TI Flats, plays very well with nice low action and that Rick growl. Comes with Mono gigbag. Collection from public space in SW13 (Barnes, south of perma closed Hammersmith Bridge) or courier delivery at cost. No trades, sorry. The cash would come in handy for continuing medical bills and upcoming daughter's wedding!

The OP says post is included "Priced to sell inc uk postage" I have no affiliation, just being helpful!

That's great to read. Have a bump on me and hopefully someone will be along shortly to snaffle this

Like this?

I am really surprised. Also, there are 21 watchers on eBay and noone has pulled the trigger there either 🥴

Now on eBay but obvs would rather sell here! £900 collected* for a quality US made Fender in vgc, anyone? *or £930 delivered

This comment is spot on and - having used it at band practice for our upcoming gig this weekend - I have decided to to give it another go. Withdrawing.

Final price cut £900 collected from SW13 London (by Barnes Rail Station, my usual meet place!) or £930 posted

Yep very right OK everyone. Wanna make me a near offer?

PS,to address one of @prowla comments about the neck, my 4000-to-4001 plays nicely with TI Jazz flats or low tension nickel rounds (40-100). It cannot cope so well with higher tension strings. So any potential buyer would have to be happy with low tension strings on this bass.

I just peeped. No rout. Also, the neck is chunkier than my mongrel (more of a P feel than the closer-to-J feel of the 4000-to-4001)

Bump!

Thanks for the fulsome reply @prowla. I had no intention of not keeping it at option (a) "fun mongrel" but it could be restored to (b) albeit with the considerations you detailed. As far as scratchplate goes, Rickysounds makes a 4000 repro one in white, based on a 1973 4000, for £49.99. However, as said, I think option (a) is preferable and what I would have stuck with. As it happens, I just acquired a 1974 4000 (all original, pictured below) in jetglo as I like the simplicity and the sub-9 pound weight. PS, I am trying to cut my bass collection by one and also to defray the costs of my jetglo 4000.
