  1. Stunning bass . Couple of questions. 1. What is the weight please, it is important to some of us. 2. No doubt it is just light reflection but it looks like the hole for the micro tilt is painted over. It also looks like there is some white paint on the rear of the body where it meets the neck? Cheers, Karl.
  2. Guess it's the "friend" she's selling it for, that took the neck off I just don't get it TBH . A couple of years back, yes, these did seem to be an investment but not now. Even at £400 it's going to cost a good bit more, even if only time, to sort. Each to there own.
  3. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1389039389' post='2329221'] OMG that bass must weigh about 5 stone with all that paint on it lol but on a serious note it is a lovely looking bass and the black scratch plate looks awesome it is another one of those basses that should not still be here and it is very fairly priced GLWTS karl [/quote] Still the lightest of my 4 basses despite it carrying a new 4.7 grams of cosmetic surgery
  4. [quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1389026993' post='2328991'] Damn this is tempting, is that the original woofer? If any of my currently for sale basses go I may not be able to resist... [/quote] Yup, original Yamaha woofer. The woofer cover has three layers of black Humbrol paint and two layers of Hard As Nails nail varnish on it, to match it to the black scratchplate
  5. Bloody hell Chris, that vid brings back some memories. Used to cover the city from a little warehouse in Dalmarnock. Great song, nice bass. I've gone all nostalgic teary
  6. All a matter of want. JV, £700 US, 2011, £700. No competition for me, US every time. But, that's just a personal opinion as unlike some I haven't tried every bass produced

Did I say it had only been towed once? Did I , eh? Did I ? Might have been cumulative towed miles .
  8. £700 for this? Ask what you like but jeez, some folk do insult.

  9. I mailed him, he said he's turned down an offer of £850. Which is fabrication or muppetry.
  10. It was classed as Sky Blue on this series, but mine looks little different to Sonic Blue. As usual for these kind of blues, they look a bit green in some lighting. Looks amazing with brown tortie
  11. Patina? Beautiful plumage. Wonder why he's had to put it up again If he did his research he would see they generally go for £400/£500. Still, re-advertising it every couple of weeks for the next decade will give him something to do.
  12. Jeez, that's a steal. I wouldn't let my 9 month old Super 12 V go for less than £700. And even then only if as a last resort to raise urgent cash. Somebody get in quick!

  14. Tell ya what, if my Precision goes and this is still up, I may be in trouble again . Fab bass, good luck.
  15. [quote name='Talbo' timestamp='1388531828' post='2323225'] Thats a bit aggro, have you been drinking!?? Pics tomorrow. Not sure what the deal is with needing an exact weight!?! The official weight is 4.10 kg - I dont have a set of scales in my house AT ALL, so I cant weight the bass to the nearest gram Sorry! [/quote] Neither aggro or drinking, find both comments rather offensive to be honest, but hey, I haven't got a £2200 bass to move. Happy new year to you.
  16. To be honest Talbo, if you want somebody to spend £2200 you are going to have to make a bit more effort. I say the following to help you. Photos. I certainly wouldn't spend that amount without decent photos. Weight, ask girlfriend, wife, her mates, see if they have luggage scales. Ask a fisherman you know if they have any scales. Piece of ribbon/cotton tround the nut, gently hang off scales. Good luck with your sale, I would say it's a great bass but I've not actually seen it.
  17. Thanks fellas. When the retail price of these was £600 in 1995, the USA Fender Precision was selling for about £650 new! So whilst they were a more affordable version of the Attitude LTD, they weren't exactly cheap. Have a great Hogmanay folks. Cheers, Karl.
  18. Final bump of the year. Funny thing basses. An admittedly rarer, but Japanese made Harris Precision sold for more than I am asking for this , Have a great Hogmanay folks. May your liver's survive.
  19. He was on until about 11.30 last night and his previous advert for a Sandberg basic fretless was fine, so guess it's just a matter of time? I would also guess collection will be from Northamptonshire.
  20. Thanks for the bumps chaps. Mike, sold the Natural AV75RI to a chap in Germany. The FSR CAR matching headstock AV75RI attracted a LOT of trade offers. A startling amount of Stingrays strangely. When a Sadowsky was offered, I crumbled like the weak tart I am
  21. Well ya see Martyn, after buying this, my 75RI ended up getting traded for the Sadowsky, so I have no less basses than before and something has gotta go .
  22. Gone thanks.

  23. [quote name='jeanmarienoe' timestamp='1388163580' post='2319028'] r u near london thanksjean marie [/quote] Sorry, 200 miles away in Wigan. However unlike some London sellers, I know how to book a courier and put a bass and it's hard case in some cardboard .
