Delberthot Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Right, I think this is the last thing I have for sale. I've just been trying to sell everything that I don't use and am unlikely to use. This last one should be a great project for the summer for someone. It began life as a brand new Bass Collection Speakeasy 4 string bought for £299 in GuitarGuitar in Glasgow. I bought it because it has the fastest neck I've ever played but I wasn't overly keen about the sound so I planned on replacing the pickups and preamp. This was a couple of years ago when I wasn't as good with a soldering iron as I am now so after many failed attempts the end result is what you see here. You have two choices depending on how much of a project you want. The bass will come with the body, neck, nut, bridge I don't have the original screws but these seem to do the job) and tuners so option 1 would be simply to replace the pickups and electronics. Option 2 would be a complete refinish plus option 1. I could also supply a set of pickups from a Squier Precision Special, Pots and a cap for an extra £7 so all you would need would be a barrel jack socket. The body is a wee bit chipped in places but nothing major and I have tried to show everything in the pictures. It is missing the back cover but that's easily enough replaced using a bit of old scratchplate material or something like that. When I bought this, I had been around every music shop in Glasgow trying everything and I mean everything. I had a budget of £2000 to spend and I went through Warwicks, Fenders, Rickenbackers, Cheap sh*te, Tobias, Schecters and a whole host of assorted cr@p. This was the one that played the best. It didn't sound the best but it played the best by a fair margin. Bearing in mind that its never left the house since I bought it for £299 I am looking for a very reasonably £100 including postage to mainland UK which is a third of what it cost me. Alternatively I am open for trades. I don't have anything specific in mind so fire away with what you have Edited October 30, 2011 by Delberthot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
