Thanks all for the interest and offers, but the bass is now sold, cheers.

Hi all, thanks for the interest and offers. A forum member's been in touch from Aberdeen of all places, he's having a look at the weekend, but I'll get back to you if it's still available on monday, cheers.

Willing to post in the UK, I have a gibson Guitar box I could ship it in. The case I got it in is a home made plywood thing, good for firewood maybe, but nothing else. What little I know about the bass is that it lay in a farmer's shed in it's case for years and years. It's got flatwounds on it, which are black in colour (not from dirt). Neck has a slight radius curve, also a zero fret. Tuners original. The bass is surprisingly lightweight overall. The neck pickup sounds good to me, punchy, warm, clear. Four control pots and a 3 way switch. No crackling. Some lacquer cracking on the front and back, but just lacquer deep.

LOL! yes, it was his advice I followed to pop over here, but I would never, EVER for one minute call you guys anoraks

Hi there, I'm new to this forum, surfed on in from Musicradar. Any interest in this 1969 model 704 Bass, Italian body and hardware and Burns neck. A few lacquer cracks but surface only, pickups are slightly weak, but overall it's a nice bass. Any offers? BASS NOW SOLD, thanks for the interest
