I had no plans on buying a bass today but hey a look on gumtree never hurts. Well today a Retrovibe RV4 was for sale at £80.
Emails and texts were sent before I even worked out how I would get there,no car ATM. 3 hours of buses and trains later I'm in a
car park in Blairgowrie thinking " damn I should minded the Amplug at the very least " Too late by then
Young fella turns up,I open the case,yes hard case inc in the £80,everything intact and no real chips or scratches.Deal done and
another 3 hours public transport. The lad said he was selling due to a Fender Jazz coming his way but I think the reason was the
RV4. Never have I seen a bass so in need of a simple set up. A boot lace was tied before the nut to stop the strings popping out
the nut string height a mile high try 7mm at 17th saddles maxed up
Truss rod cover had never been off and a good 1/4 turn settled things,I'll see how it is in the morning but bloody hell £80.
I feel like I won a watch
