Really nice bass Tony! Great to have the authentication material with it too Sadly, it's out of my price range (Mrs S would go nuts! lol) And I already have way too many.... sigh! GLWTS - though I'm sure this won't be here very long

I've had a couple of messages about this bass recently It's currently on hold, pending collection in the next couple of weeks (apologies, I should have mentioned this earlier)

As others have said - lovely colour bass... and the cat looks cute too Stunning colour in fact - the bass that is GLWTS

Yes, plenty. I tested this myself just before the set-up. I was swapping around between different tension strings (low tension Thomastiks, some higher tension Dunlops and I tried rounds on it too - just to see if I'd prefer them) The trussrod moves freely, and with bags of adjustment... Cheers now

I didn't - I said the older CV's took "some beating" - as my example, I mentioned both mine were really not far short of a (very good) US P I once had (I sold the US before the CV.... and regretted selling the CV more!) It was you who in your post, suggested that CV's are "Still available" - they're still available, but being built in a different factory, from different materials, and in a different country As it happens, two good friends work in local guitar shops (well, one mate actually owns his shop). They both say that the newer CV's are pretty consistent with the other MII instruments..... Now, don't you think we should let this sales thread be a sales thread? You're welcome to PM me, if you need any further info, of course

Yes, people say the new ones are very good. However, the China made CV's are absolutely superb. They were made in the same factory as the Matt Freeman signature basses, which is different factory to the Affinity series instruments. The newer CV's are made in Indonesia - I believe the same factory as the Vintage Modified series. The VM's are really good for the money - but having had both VM and CV basses - the CV's made in China are several steps up from the indonesian made VM series. I had a Fiesta Red CV and a US made P at the same time - and there really wasn't much in it, quality-wise. Perhaps the pickup on the US and maybe the tuners were better. I now have one of the earlier CV P's in pale blue - and that's even better. I'm sure the new Indonesian range of CV's are good though, but these older China made ones take some beating

I'm surprised this is still here, given the quality of Classic Vibe Squiers. I've had two (still got one) and I regretted letting the previous one go Utterly superb quality, sound and "feel" to these instruments. The white P basses don't seem to come up too often either (not sure if they didn't make as many as they did in Fiesta Red?) These are collectors pieces of tomorrow. But I prefer it with the non-original Tort plate BTW

I should say, I had a NS WAV once - it was a great EUB. The only reason I sold it, was to upgrade to another NS model EUB Burns-Bass is a top fella to deal with too - buy in confidence folks EDIT: The original stands on these WAV EUB's are a little on the lightweight side, and can be a bit "wobbly" - mine didn't bother me.... But that replacement stand looks very solid. I used a drum / cymbal stand on another EUB I once owned, and it was solid

Wow - I'm surprised this is still here, at that price I've hear nothing but great reports on early Greco P basses. It's Matsumoko Japan quality, and these days, I'd say hard to find in that good condition GLWTS

It's with heavy heart that I put this bass up for sale, but needs must (with redundancy and a future house-move on the cards). In great condition for its' age, and a lovely player, with gorgeous vintage sound There are a few dinks and dings on the bass, including a 2mm x 1.5mm x 1mm dink on the back of the neck, around fret 11 - easily filled, though it never bothered me actually. There's a light "bloom" of buckle rash in the usual place, which isn't easy to photograph. The main thing to say about this bass, is that it's otherwise in great condition given it's approaching 40 years old. Somehow, this bass just feels and sounds absolutely awesome - it has a real vintage tone and feel. These basses are rated very highly by people who own and play them, and you have to try one to understand quite why. It's the best feeling and sounding P bass I've ever played. With the job situation being as it is, I have to sell something (not urgently - so no daft offers please) - I just need to thin the herd, as we will be moving house within the next 8 - 10 months, and are down-sizing. I'm gigging with another P bass these days - only because it is slightly lighter weight, and is another great bass. I can no longer justify 3x P basses, plus my P/J Limelight. I may even list another P over the coming days, and keep this one.... as I'm so torn It weighs in at just a shade over 4kg - so is no boat anchor. Like I say, I've got 2 other P's which are lighter - though neither is in my favourite 3TSB, Rosewood, Tort combo. Mrs S said to me the other day "Do you really need two basses the same colour?" of my Roadworn Jazz! I had the bass set up, including a light fret-dress & level, by A-strings of Treforest, near Pontypridd. The frets are in good condition, with plenty of life left in them. I believe everything else is original on the bass (as I was told by the previous BC owner). I did change the control knobs for an old 70's set, as they were in better condition (re the chrome) It's currently wearing a set of worn-in Thomastik Flats. It came with some Dunlop flats, and I tried several other strings, but decided it just felt better with the TI's. I can let you have the Dunlops, or a new set of rounds if you prefer? But I'll leave the TI's on, as they just seem to suit the bass Based in North Cardiff - but I can meet somewhere half way, as I've got amp headphones and a battery amp (Roland) to test at the ubiquitous Motorway services / pub Please note I am NOT looking for any trades at all, and would prefer not to post (abroad or UK) - I also want you to try this bass, and fall for it, like I did, and to know that you've got it safely in your hands In this moment of madness, as I'm typing this, I may decide to either sell another bass instead, or else change my mind completely.... lol I'm asking slightly less than what I paid for it, given that I had the work done on the bass
