[attachment=106524:DSCN0960.JPG] Actually here's one with the headstock blacked out!

I got this R*****faker recently from Beedster as I had fond memories of my old 4001 (sold in 2008, my first gigging bass in phase 2 of my musician career beginning 2005). Unfortunately hindsight is rose-coloured and I am struggling with the ergonomics, having played a Precision as my main bass almost exclusively for the past 4 years (and having broken my left hand in between times which makes it uncomfortable to deal with narrower-than-Precision string spacing). Basically the slab body and (at least relatively vs Precision) narrow neck width just don't feel right to me and so I am going to try to move this on. It benefits from Rick electronics (including vintage tone control) and a toaster pickup and - courtesy of me - some brand new TI Jazz nickel rounds (>£35) which suit it perfectly (it doesn't work with heavy gauge strings). Only one minor issue is the scratchplate has a screwhole that is over the cavity so I have super-glued in a screw just to fill the hole and give a neater appearance. Beedster put £750 into this project, I've added the TI strings and I would like to get the £600 I paid back for this. Has a Warwick Rockbag padded gigbag and I will post, albeit pickup/meet-up preferred in London (I live nr Hammersmith and work nr Liverpool St) Beedster's ad below for reference. PM me for photos.

To the top. Offers?

Thanks Pierre! Rainy Sunday bump with a nice video of Japan featuring the wonderful fretless Wal player Mick Karn (RIP) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuiRBLa7pdA

Hi there, I would drop a Pm to Beedster as he sold one and then regretted it

Thanks Barend. I think you are right and patience is the key word here!

Oh well, 52 watchers and not one bid by the auction close (despite one guy telling me he would definitely bid in the last few minutes and an earnest guy from Belgium providing his phone number, contact details etc and clearing it with me that he could pay by bank transfer instead of paypal). Ho hum!

This would be gone within hours if you would post!
