warwickhunt Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Vintage Sunburst finish Maple 1/4 sawn neck Maple fingerboard with pearloid dot markers x2 PRS Jazz Pick-ups Vol/Vol/Tone Active/Passive PRS circuit (switchable) Original PRS case with tools, hang tags and even cloth Very good condition with very little surface 'swirling' where you would slap/pop. No dings, cracks, scratches or bucklerash (though if you tip it in the light you can see a little 'worming', though not visible otherwise). No fretwear and action is presently set 'low' (normal by my standards but other bassists that have played it have thought it was too low for them ) but if you play with a heavier hand I'll set it up with a bit more relief if you like. The case has a couple of very small marks/nicks but they are not tears and it looks very good from a short distance (I'm just giving potential buyers all info). Neck width @ nut is 40mm. I'll also obviously supply the straplock buttons to attach to your strap. Please feel free to contact me if you would like a particular aspect photographed and I'll get them to you. Collection from near Newcastle Upon Tyne or courier at your expense. £1000 Edited May 8, 2011 by warwickhunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Bolin clocks in @ 8lb 4oz and I'd say that was lightweight. However, my Streamer 5th Anniversary is 7lb 12oz... featherweight I'd guess!

The Burpster Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I cannot believe someone hasn't snapped this up - It is a very pretty example, and the maple/maple neck is almost unique tonally. Anyone short of a kidney....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Swampash57 Thanks for answering my question, how can I contact you as to buying your PRS bass I live in NOTTINGHAM and would travel to collect with cash. As my log name suggests I own a PRS swamp ash, a ce22 and have been looking for a bass for some time, then some one told me about your bass and I joined bass chat to find out more. My mobile No is 07861785805 Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
