Thanks for all the nice comments, chaps. Mr Beedster has first dibs on this, which means it's going to be in excellent company!

After accidentally buying another black Precision with a maple neck today (a difficult one to explain to the wife), I'm needing to recoup some funds. I purchased this bass from the forum recently and it is fantastic. It's light weight, resonant, lovely to look at and has real mojo. Eagle eyed viewers may have seen Karlfers original ad, suggesting it appears to have been resprayed by Stevie Wonder on a Friday afternoon (or words to that effect), and that it requires a refinish. I on the other hand am a lover of vintage, reliced and roadworn basses, and really like the semi-matte, non perfect finish. I had intended to polish the bass to achieve a shine, but after receiving it I think its fine the way it is. If you're not convinced, some polish and elbow grease will see it right. The bass has a passive EMG pickup and pots, and sounds great. Compared to my '71 P with a Lollar on board, the 57RI has more top, more bottom and more punch in the middle. However roll the tone knob back and you're in Pino town. I think it's worth a lot more than the asking price, but in the interests of Basschat harmony, it's up for £700. I'm in Margate, postage is fine.

Up.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1451235164' post='2938984'] Cool cheers! Been after one of these for a while, let me check my post-Xmas, pre-wedding finances! [/quote] For me it wasn't the wedding, but the houses and babies that followed that have done me in!

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1451231901' post='2938965'] Does the Spyder have the XLR or jack DI? [/quote] It has an XLR DI.

This amp is pure class. Top of the heap in its day with truly limitless EQ options, a built in compressor, aural enhancer, Bi-amp capability and extremely versatile output options (500w in bridged mode or 2 x 300w in stereo mode) down to a 2ohm load per side. The awesome 2u Swanflight case is negotiable (i recently paid £80 for it new) or i can include a 2u Boschma case if preferred. SOLD

Will trade against a guitar

Bump

Up for this beaut of a bass. £850 cheaper than a new one. Bargain.

[quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1448799412' post='2918184'] Great bass, great guy, great price! What's not to like. Wish I had the funds to snap this up. I paid almost double this for the four string version around 5 years ago! [/quote] Thanks mate, I thought it would fly out the door at this price.. I could really do with an electric guitar so happy to consider trades. Swap your dusty old six string for this superior instrument

[quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1448477532' post='2915790'] Lots of 5er bargains at mo [/quote] Certainly seems that way.

[quote name='Philly' timestamp='1448477063' post='2915783'] Looks like a bargain to me,sadly like you I struggle with 5 strings live! [/quote] Thanks, I've had plenty of interest but no takers so far.

[quote name='Mark_ii' timestamp='1448492035' post='2915964'] Fantastic bass, I love te grain pattern. it looks to be from a single slab of wood. [/quote] Thanks Mark, it really is a nice looking bass. My photography skills don't do it justice.

Videos available on request.

[quote name='indabass' timestamp='1447929550' post='2911493'] did you already have the exact weight? I am very interested [/quote] Yup, 3.9kg (8.5lbs).

Just checked the weight on digital scales and it's 3.9kg (8.5lb).

[quote name='Brother Jones' timestamp='1447516371' post='2908258'] Is that serious damage to the back of the lower horn, or is it just a weird reflection (apologies, my eyes are going...)? [/quote] No, it's a reflection of a light fitting. I'll take some better pictures when I get a chance.

[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1447513973' post='2908226'] What does it weigh please and does it have the VTC? [/quote] From memory it's a little over 8lbs, I'll weigh it asap. Yes, it has a factory fitted VTC.

Up for sale is my Fender Jazz. This is a great bass with a truly thunderous sound and nails the neo-soul/gospel thing perfectly. I'm after £700 collected or can be couriered if required.

For sale is my beautiful Sadowsky MV4. I’ve had it for a few years now and it has been outstanding in every respect. It has been well gigged by me and toured all over the world by the previous owner, hence It’s not immaculate but in good condition overall. Included is the original Sadowsky case. I highly recommend trying this bass in person if possible as it really does sing. I’m after £1100 collected from Margate, or can courier if required.

Bump

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1444056380' post='2879887'] A straight swap??? I won't have to add any cash??? [/quote] That's right, an opportunity not to be missed.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1444046444' post='2879701'] EBS = quality gear...have a bump [/quote] I could be persuaded to swap it for your Ritter
