This is a mega deal for a guitar player. The Fender Twin is iconic and at this price complete with flight case should not have lasted this amount of time. Have you tried a forum like The Fretboard?

Had another wee look at this and Graham is spot on. Robben Ford seems to have played both the Espirit and Flame Models.

[quote name='Grahambythesea' timestamp='1494949003' post='3299886'] Very Robben Ford. Check YouTube "Playing the blues" & "Blues and beyond" to see him playing one of these. I seem to remember Fender even making a signature model for a short while. [/quote] Thanks for the info re the YouTube link Graham. I think Robben Ford played the larger bodied 'Espirit' guitar from the Master Series.

Thanks for the comments chaps. I'll be in Glasgow tomorrow (15th May) till Thursday (18thMay) if that helps anyone.

Price now reduced from £950 to £850 including shipping I am putting up for sale my 1984 Fender Flame 'Elite'. These were Japanese made guitars made in the period when the US factory was still not up to speed in the early to mid 80s. The guitar was Fenders attempt at competing with Gibson and so the guitars had a set neck which is rather nice. The hardware including the pickups was all Schaller. The guitar also used Fenders TBX tone circuit. As you would expect from Japan this is a very well put together guitar. It also sounds and plays very well. The pickups and tone circuit provide plenty of power and a nice variety of tones. The guitar has been well gigged although most of the 'roadworn' appearance is limited to the back and sides of the guitar. There is a fair amount of buckle rash, dings, and scratches. This is as you would expect from a 33 year old players guitar. There is also a small ding on the back of the top of the guitar. I have tried my best to photograph the dings etc to give as faithful a representation I can of the condition of the guitar. The guitar comes in a fitted Gator hardcase. This is a pretty rare guitar from the Fender stable and can only increase in value. The price of £850 includes delivery to the UK.

That is a very nice bass with the added bonus of being Scottish!😊

I am in Aberdeen.

I have for sale my 1984 Tokai Jazz Sound (JB50) in Red (Candy Apple I think) with Matching Headstock. This is a '62 reissue' and therefore has a threaded saddle bridge. This is an extremely nice Jazz Bass built in Japan from an era when the Tokai was an exact copy of the Fender Jazz in that the headstock is the same as a Fender as opposed to the more modern Tokai offering. A rather nice touch is the colour-coded matching headstock which in my opinion sets off the bass very nicely. This bass is all original and in superb condition for a 33 year old instrument. It is difficult to find any marks on this bass. There are one or two very small marks which cannot really be photographed. I only mention them for the sake of transparency. The bass has had a pro setup by Graeme Mennie of Kinellar Guitars and is currently strung with a new set of Thomastik Flatwounds. The bass will come in a generic hardcase. One corner of the case has a slight crack in it (see photo). UPDATE: The crack has since been repaired with superglue and boot polish. The bass will be well packed in its case and cardboard box. The asking price includes delivery to the UK. I am not looking for any trades although I might just entertain a Fender Precision if the price and type is right.

I would definitely be interested if you would consider posting the bass.
