tomtraubert Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Hi folks,have this bass for sale.5 string bongo,18 volt HH config. bass is a dream to play and sounds fantastic.cosmeticly it's not perfect,there's two chips in the paint around the neck pocket,(a scratchplate will cover them but i don't have one for it).there's also a chip at the rear strap mount about an inch long,which the strap covers when wearing.other than that this is a great bass.comes with musicman case. given the chips and the current economic climate i'm offering this to the community at £650.am happy to pack it up fpr postage if you wish to arrange it. the photos are the best i can get with my phone. cheers for looking.

tomtraubert Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 [quote name='colin100' post='1151096' date='Mar 6 2011, 02:04 AM']Have you got a scratch plate for that beauty?[/quote] i spoke to the guy i got it from,he thinks he has it somewhere,if it turns up i'll pop it in the post to whoever buys the bass. to answer a question i got in pm,the chips around the neck pocket only came to light when my friend bought the bass from ebay a few years back and removed the pickguard.the bass has been gigged for a couple of years now with no playability issues at all.it's got a great neck with a nice low action. i traded him it for an amp and cabs,£650 is what i valued the gear at so that's what i'm selling for.unfortunately at the moment i need a tele or strat guitar more than i need a 5 string bass so it's gotta go. it's a hell of a bass for the money guys.
munkonthehill Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I know theres forum rules about talking about a seller asking price, however I dont care and must say that this is the bargain of the century. I honestly cant believe how low this asking price is and I honestly can believe its not away yet!! I dont play 5's and I sold my Bongo not too long ago to fund my Ric, however at this price you just can lose. Even if you bought it here, you could re-sale this on ebay with a tidy profit even after fees. All the very best with the sale buddy.

tomtraubert Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 guys i have strong interest from a few chaps on the continent but having priced to get it shipped from ulster and paperwork the shippers want i'm going to have to keep this UK and Ireland only. really sorry about this lads.
dannybuoy Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I like the look of this without the scratchplate, stops it from looking like a toilet seat!

It doesn't tick any of the boxes, but worth a cheeky shout, no?
