Buyer to arrange courier is often a bit tricky. To do this, the buyer needs to sort out with the seller, when it is convenient for the seller to have the bass collected. This ALWAYS puts me off. It is much easier (imo) for the SELLER to say something like " I can get it collected on X day, it will be with you on Y day". Buyer obviously to pay the carriage costs.

Unbelievable quality bass for this price If Vigiers good enough for Roger Glover....................

Wigan massive strikes again.

Naw, many thanks, but get it selt. Like you, lot of interest/trade offers on my two but neither gone yet. Cracking bass at that price, won't be on here long. Edit. Mind, if I do end up getting it, I require your DNA cotton budding out of that bridge pup

Bugger, been watching this one on FB with the hope one of my two would go 1st. This will be gone before tea time on here

Sold yesterday thanks

Very surprised this is still here Dunc GLWTS

I've had the pleasure of playing this bass and it's superb. Steve's a great bloke as well. Hope the new business is going well Steve (gizza job ).

[quote name='Dudley Powell' timestamp='1473197832' post='3127996'] Hi there, is this still available? [/quote] Welcome Dudley

You've lost me there Mike I have decided this is sale only now. Too many people (not all) have offered me trades based on the CASH price rather than the TRADE valuation. Or put another way, no, I'm not going to accept a Mex Precision and £300 . Kindly remember £1669 new Cheers, Karl.

[quote name='bassgurumonster' timestamp='1473153862' post='3127359'] People think that your'e desperate to sell mate. Its a bargain right there. What i usually do is to get the person to bank transfer £50 for a hold. That sorts the men from the idiots ! [/quote] Thanks Mike. I usually take a members word as his bond. Up until this year that had only backfired once. I always put something out at a price I think fair to both buyer and seller. Cash price wise, this is a bit of a bargain despite the couple of issues. The last two I can find on here were out at £1100 and £1150. No hurry to sell. Possibly giving it a whirl at rehearsal this Thurs, see how I get on with it stood up. [quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1473155422' post='3127382'] Karl, do you have any experience of the U shape on the 74 AVRI Jazz and how this might compare to yours profile wise (as I have one of these and like the feel)? Clearly width would be different but I'm not fussed about that.... I've also had a 51 CIJ Precision but didn't like that neck at all really. Thanks Steve [/quote] Sorry Steve I've not been lucky enough to try a U profile jazz. I've not had a '51 either as I just know those big necks are going to be no good to me. I have had a Blue Flower 54 RI. Lovely bass in many ways but the neck on that was huge as well. Much deeper back to front that this 58 RI. Which in turn is a bit deeper back to front, than the quite shallow AV57RI and Road Worn Precision. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Cheers, Karl.

Further PM's replied. Hmm. American Vintage series at £50 more than a used Mex Flea and getting lowballed. Given the way Fender prices have gone lately, these will be pushing £2k new in a couple of years so probably no big deal if it doesn't go now
