Guild B301-F fretless bass from the late 70's for sale. I've owned this bass for the last ten years or so and have used it on many occasions for recording and live performance. This has a great, warm, woody tone. At higher volumes, the pickup does tend to become slightly microphonic. As far as I can tell (not a whole lot of info about these basses out there...) the bass is as stock, bar a couple of items. At some point in the past, a previous owner has changed the control knobs to, I guess, Gibson-style knobs, and also added a thumb-rest close to the neck. The only change that has been made under my ownership is the change of the strap buttons to Schaller Strap-locks after those that came with the bass fell out of the wood. The bass is in very good condition, but has been used and not hidden away in a collection. As such, is has a few dents in the back, and a little cracking in the lacquer near the headstock (no damage to the wood that I can see). I've always used flatwounds on the bass, but it did come fitted with roundwounds when I bought it. This does not seem to have done anything adverse to the fretboard though. Bass comes with a hardcase and the fitted schaller straplocks. Collection only from Portsmouth: £480.

Bump - still going!

Replied. Guys - remember that this is a pretty weighty slab of wood. I'd rather not have to arrange for a courier for this, or have to travel too far myself with it if possible...

Payday time bump!

Still bumping...

The way it's going, it'll still be waiting for you!

Still no offers, so bump again!

If it at all helps in the sale of this cab, I will be in Bristol on the weekend of the 1st - 3rd November. Will be happy to transport the cab up with me if there is interest in the west, but only for that weekend!

Raised some interest, but still not gone so... bump again!

PM'd back!

Bristol is quite doable (ought to visit the inlaws at some point...).

Hmmm, sorely tempted to snatch it up before it gets to that... Where's the bass coming from?

Weekend bump! Any more interest out there?

When is the seller planning on ebaying this?

You could both put in for it. That's 2x10 each...

Bumping away...

Bump again...
