wateroftyne Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Hi all I always said this bass would stay with me forever - I've had it for years and I love it. It'll probably not go anywhere, but you never know. One of the first - Feb '71... Rare Raven PBR-1 Active preamp (no mods required - it just dropped in). It currently has a lovely replacement Allparts unlined ebony neck with correct decal, as I really don't want to wear out the beautiful rosewood of the original. [b]Of course the original factory fretless neck would be supplied along with the bass[/b]. I'll post photos of it with the original neck when I dig them out. I am ONLY interested in letting this go as part of a trade for a 4-string Eminence or NS Design EUB. That's it - nothing else will be entertained. Edited July 19, 2011 by wateroftyne
73Jazz Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) I hope you don' t find someone to trade with and you keep the bass... Hope you don't mind my "bad" wishes Edited July 17, 2011 by 73Jazz

Mr Bassman Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 [attachment=85076:Mrs_bass_slb100.jpg] Mrs Bassman insists that I move something on, now if you fancy a Yamaha in a trade I could sneak the fender in and she might not notice it!

wateroftyne Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Cheers all Circumstances have changed - this one's staying with me. Thanks for all your PM's and EUB advice.
Clarky Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Good move WOT. You wouldn't find another like this beauty without massive difficulty - and as others have said, cheap DB's are ten-a-penny if you really have to have one
