Looking forward to seeing some pics, but forum rules say you must state an asking price in your post.

[quote name='simontdo' timestamp='1322943672' post='1457654'] what sort of trades are you after? Geddy lee jazz bass of any interest? [/quote] Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm sorted for basses.

[quote name='krispn' timestamp='1322945633' post='1457675'] I'm inclined to say JC for MF? [/quote] Now that is very tempting. Give me a few days to see how my potential P bass replacement searches go and I'll be in touch very soon. Nice...

SOLD

£440 now includes postage in the UK.

£300 posted with original bridge and pickup put back in instead of the Badass and SD pickup.

This bass is now on hold.

So, earlier this summer, I dipped my toe in the P bass waters with this superb Squier. I've now decided to go the whole hog and complement my 70 fretless P with a fretted bass of similar vintage, so this bass has to go. It's a Squier [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php/?partno=0301080506"]Matt Freeman P bass [/url]in black/maple. It's in very good condition save for one dent on the edge of the body. I've upgraded it with a Duncan SPB 3 Quarter Pounder, a Badass, and a KiOgon P bass wiring kit. It sounds absolutely [i]fantastic[/i], balances very well and is nice and light. It really is a very good bass and I won't be that bothered if it doesn't sell, but I would like to get something old.... I'd like £400 posted.

Well, having spent some time with this bass I must say it's in great nick. I took the neck off and opened it up to get a few internal shots and I'm not sure it'd ever been taken apart - the screws were all nice and tight, and the foam mute was actually stuck to one string! Anyway, great nick, lovely rosewood board, what's not to like? It's boxed up and ready to post.

[quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1322490212' post='1451398'] I think your deranged selling this Mr G, its a very versatile head and sounds great with a fretless and with just a tweek adds some serious top to my Streamline. Buy this, dont prevaricate if you dont buy you will regret it. Its a bargain I paid list for mine from Bass Direct not that long ago................. [/quote] Yes I am deranged, but it seems to be a problem I have at the moment.... just look at my buying two 70s fretless P basses!

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1322422184' post='1450712'] I don't think I'm following this FS thread, 2 days ago there's a listing by walbassist saying there are now 5 Basschatters in the queue. Then the next day, he bumps the advert. Is this for sale or not? Is it being held for someone. I'd be very interested and would welcome a PM if it's still up for sale. [/quote] Time to clarify. As of Friday evening there were five people who had expressed a firm interest. One has since confirmed he's no longer interested and I've seen another has bought something else, so I guess he's out too. No contact from the other three. So, still available.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1322228502' post='1448256'] This sound likek my Streamliner thread. I just had to keep withdrawing it. Some gigs it worked really well, others it didnt. End of the day i had something i liked a bit better so one had to go. I do sometimes think the wrong one went. The Streamliner is a fantastic head and i really miss how much authority each note gets with this head. Whoever buys this is in for a treat. [/quote] Couldn't agree more. As I said, it's a lovely head but just more power than I need, and as such I'd rather release some £. The waiting list has now reached five Basschatters!

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1322159697' post='1447451'] Sell the '73, and buy my '58, that sounds like a plan!! [/quote] Indeed it does!

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1322087748' post='1446493'] The Bass V is not one of mine, although like you, I've always fancied one, for curiosity value only i suspect. I think 5 mins after buying it, I'd probably question what possessed me. They are lovely looking instruments though, and the shortscale makes it interesting, one day maybe, it would have to be a dot neck sunburst though. I nearly bought one from new york a few years ago, but it didnt have the impossible to find bridge cover or case, and i'm a bit obsessed with things being 'right', so passed on it, was great value though. [/quote] Yes, that's sort of my impression of them too, but I thought they were 34" scale? [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1322087930' post='1446495'] Just noticed you have a Fretless Precision, after my previous reply! To add to that, i think my lack of musical ability with the instrument I love, was the main factor in me not quite knowing what to do with it, rather than the instrument itself! [/quote] I do indeed, and a lovely bass it is too! Am selling a '73 fretless too, which I had put out as trade bait for the bass you have for offer here, but now I understand why you wouldn't be interested!

Guys I'm sorry to mess you about, but you know how it is... Anyway, [i]definitely[/i] up for sale and I won't withdraw it again.

Back up at £440 plus post, now including a Gator gig bag.

Completely off topic, for which I apologise, but I love the Bass V on your website! Did you used to own it? I have always wanted one, but not sure why
