[quote name='Fleabay85' post='1245346' date='May 26 2011, 10:59 AM']This is a factory finish. It's original.[/quote] Thanks -
[quote name='Fleabay85' post='1245222' date='May 26 2011, 09:20 AM']The pickup,the Bridge,the pickguard and one of the knob is not original. Everything else is original. This is a lightweight and great sounding vintage precision. The neck feels like an jazz bass..... The price is: 1499 GBP I'm intrested for trade maybe (highend amp,sadowsky, vintage jazz bass...)[/quote] Is this a factory finished natural or has the body been re-finished? Thanks

Nigel Glad you have it sorted If you find you inadvertantly move the volume or sub-bass knobs whilst playing, do what i have done with mine and pull the knobs off (so to speak!) - you can still control their position using the bare pot splines - not pretty but pretty effective Gareth

[quote name='Evil Undead' post='1242870' date='May 24 2011, 12:59 PM']I decided to go for the Matt Freeman Squier after a lot of thought It should arrive later today, so I'll let you guys know what it's like! Also, thanks for the offer Gareth! I completely missed that before, sorry![/quote] No problem - enjoy your new bass

[quote name='dc2009' post='1243225' date='May 24 2011, 06:27 PM']So why do we get ripped off here, and has anyone else got any success stories of beating it by importing directly from outside the UK? Dan[/quote] Here's one:- I have just imported a bass - a G&L L1000 - from the USA I have done this before but a long time ago when the £ to $ rate was better than now. Anyway I used USPS. The bass cost $455 and the USPS charge was $110 including insurance. The bass took about 3 weeks to get here and the the first notification I had that it was in the UK was a letter from parcelforce (USPS's UK agents) that I owed some £82 VAT/Duty/Handling charge. This I paid online and the bass was delivered to me next day. The bass was in its original hardcase which was then packed by the seller into a cardboard guitar box. The whole package arrived intact and without damage. The total cost of the bass with hardcase to me is some £440 and is a significant saving on what the bass would have cost in the UK and that is if i could find one here as they are quite rare here.
