Jigster Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) After dithering, definitely selling this now. A firm £700 - [b]not desperate to sell so won't do silly prices[/b]. I'm mostly interested in a sale, but also any trades/part-ex for US G&L's (not Tributes), early Ibanez (ie. Roadster/Roadstar/Blazer type models), early Yamaha BBs, but also could be intrigued by the right 5 string, as I have a 5 string itch that keeps coming back. Many have said on here, and I would concur, that the Roadworn models are close to the Fender custom basses, and the next best thing to splashing out on the huge prices the customs command. The MIM tag really is of little consequence as these play beautifully, with pick ups with great old school vibe, sweet fast neck and that love it or loathe it relic job. The sunburst looks great actually.

burray Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Not that I'm knocking this sale because I'm sure that it's a great bass but, to me, the Road Worn series is like buying a pair of jeans that already have rips in them. Personally I always find the thought of doing so a bit weird. O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigster Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Sure, they're marmite basses no doubt. But like you say, they're great basses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) I've played one of these basses and as the seller states, they are stunning. Fantastic basses and will be a true bargain for whoever gets it! Good luck with the sale Jigster! Edited April 14, 2011 by skej21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
