Really need a description of this bass. Is it Fender? Origins of body and neck? What are the pickups? Make of hardware? etc, etc. If you want to sell you have to put in the effort!
I have a 1984 Tokai Jazz Sound and it is a marvellous instrument. There is a very nice 1981 Greco Precision over on 'Classic and Cool Guitars' just now. This is the site that Mark the Limelight guy operates. He is a great guy to deal with and a proper gent. Tell him Hutton sent you! 😃

I don't have the technical knowledge to comment on this but I was thinking that if Mariah Carey could have performed she would have as she has been doing just that for a long time now. The fact that she had to abort the performance would suggest to me that things were well out of her control. She would surely know that there would be no point in continuing and producing a performance that she would later regret. An unfortunate set of circumstances here which led to her doing the only sensible thing.

A few years ago I was made redundant just as my daughters wedding was coming up.
I had to sell my Ric CS.

The guy who bought it promised that I would have first refusal if he ever sold it. He offered it back at twice the price I sold it.

What a complete and utter shi*e.
Is there a particular reason why the original case is not included in the sale? With the bass being a 2016 model I would have thought the case would still be around.
Any new Fender precision that I have played in recent years have been excellent bassss. Admittedly some have been better set up by the shop than others but none could be described as having frets hanging over the edges. The recent Fenders have been noted for having fret ends well dressed and rounded off to the fingerboard. I'm going down to Glasgow soon and would be interested to see this bass.
If you can get past the headstock thing the Cort A5-Custom-SP is a cracking bass. Neck through, spalted top and back, Bart MK5 Soapbars and really well put together. This bass punches well above its weight!

Such a shame that they're calling it a day.

Just been on the site to check this out and see that Drew is retiring and selling the business as a going concern. Hopefully whoever takes it on will provide the same excellent and personal service.
Another post in praise of Drew at GBBL. I needed a truss rod cover to complete my newly acquired Cort A5 Custom SP. This wasn't an easy item to acquire but as GBBL are Cort dealers Drew persevered and the bass is sporting its new cover. The good stores are the ones that serve their customers no matter how small the request.
