geoffbyrne Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) This bass is now gone. I've had this for 3 years buying it second-hand. It's almost spotless/unmarked - no buckle rash. Neck has minimum relief & low action. Strings are old (2 years i.e. dead but that's how I like 'em) Overwater Xtra Longs (35" scale) - DR HiBeams are fitted new to these. Active pickups *and* active pre-amp on this - takes 2xPP9s & runs 18v. Batteries were changed in February. I can't remember the woods, but I believe it is Bubinga on Ash with a Pao Ferro fretboard. Two possible issues. When I got it the trussrod nut was wrecked through previous owner using an inappropriate instrument, & there was a bow in the neck. This was cured by tapping a stainless steel philips screw into the nut with some Araldite, & tightening. Worked a charm Previous owner replaced pan knob with a toggle switch a la Les Paul. I have had no problems with this, but I will include the original pan pot, a new pan pot and a similar but not identical knob should you wish to go back to pan pot. Strap included but no case. £225 collected (Loughborough or will travel a sensible distance to meet) or make me a sensible offer. Any questions, just ask. p.s. I could be pursuaded to trade for a 5 string Squier Vintage Modified....... well, just a thought. Edited October 13, 2011 by geoffbyrne

geoffbyrne Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 The luggage weighing gizmo puts it at 8lbs exactly. I didn't realise it was so light. G.
Kongo Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Having played this one personally a few years ago I can say it's an awesome Cirrus BXP with no issues whatsoever...Damn time flies. Real easy to play to and overall solid feel. :-)
geoffbyrne Posted July 18, 2011 Author Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Thanks Kongo - pop round & have another cuppa sometime!!! G. Edited July 18, 2011 by geoffbyrne

G.[/quote] Ah, I thought you moved. :-) If I had the space and funds I'd be the first to come get this. Currently in the want of a narrower spacing 5-string and I'm used to 35" scale length but alas, until I get round to shifting a load of mine it won't happen. :-( BTW, The Ibanez RD is still in full service. :-)

G.[/quote] Whoa that's a tough one ha ha! However, too late to consider anyway it seems as it's on hold. :-P Otherwise I'd consider, as I like to keep to 35" scale as much as I can for muscle memory. I know 34" scale is only 1" but I'm that adaptive I will start to get sloppy and then hands won't be strong enough for 35" scale later. Edited July 28, 2011 by Kongo
geoffbyrne Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 You've got second dibs on this if the current deal doesn't go thorough. G.
