Mr. Foxen Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Bought on ebay to strip for spares. Actually it is fine aside from setup tweaking, so aside from robbing the Hipshot from it and putting the original machine head back, I'll cheerfully leave this as a working instrument. There is a switch added for S1 switching (I assume). The blocks look nice, but are stick ons. I love the look of blocked rosewood, but I can't deal with skinny jazz necks. I'm usually pretty heartless when it comes to stripping out no-name basses, so leaving it as is reflects upon how nice this is. Neck has a nice satin finish. Edited June 14, 2011 by Mr. Foxen

Mr. Foxen Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Yeah, thats the one, the Probass has been sanded off. Even more tempted by their toher stuff now, this is a nice instrument.
Mr. Foxen Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 Gonna sling this on ebay tomorrow as free listing. Would rather go to a BCer, so get an offer in.
Monckyman Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 If you do decide to strip out instead, I`d really like the body. Been looking for a well finished black jazz bod. MM
Mr. Foxen Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 Why not buy it and part it out? I reckon I'd make more by doing this, just seems a shame. PM me an offer on the body,
Bottle Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Hey Mr Foxen! Just wondered if this was still available as a whole ensemble? Ta, Ian
