Legion Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Well, here goes... I've done this before, changed my mind, then did it again - etc etc. Luckily the last sale was to Clarky and I managed to get it back again (again!). I've finally decided that I have the basses I need (as opposed to basses I want, which is quite different) in the form of my NYC Sadowsky and USA Decade. Love them both to bits and will be sticking with them. So I'm going to try and sell the TF and hope it stays in the Basschat world of circulation. Not a common bass, and certainly not something you will find in shops over here. I tried one out when I was in NYC 4 years ago and bought one not long after I got home. It's an outstanding bass, mainly for its simplicity in my opinion. Nicely positioned Jazz pup along with a standard P pup and the 3 selector switch. Other than that its got the standard Drop tuner on the E string and I've grounded the bottom of the pup poles of the P pup as the mains in my house is awful and it was picking up a lot of noise that is now cured. Condition is excellent considering how much use its had, couple of little dings in the body and a fair bit of paint/pickguard swirling but the neck remains immaculate and everything else works fine. Weight is nice and light at just over 8 lbs. Comes with the original hard case and candy. I'm writing this from work (as I get much less time spare at home) so heres a couple of older photos, although nothing has changed anyway. Looking for £800 collected from Ipswich area - I'm not keen on postage only for the reason that I've run out of giant bass sized boxes [attachment=87620:Chocolate2.jpg] [attachment=87621:IMGP1146.JPG] Edited August 27, 2011 by Legion
Clarky Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) This is a genuinely fabulous fretless and if I had managed to sell my fretless Wal this would already have been mine (again!) The buyer will be one lucky dude (or dude-ette). Get in quick! Edited August 22, 2011 by Clarky

I forgot to mention it has a great neck profile, sort of like a 70's P in width but shallower...very comfy to play.
Musicman20 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Heck...v temped, although I cant get to you.
bassatnight Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Arghh, this is the bass I am after. And your just down the road from me! Please someone buy my Duck Dunn!

Guest subaudio Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Pretty much my dream bass this ! someone please buy my double bass !!!!
Legion Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 Bump, fair bit of interest but nobody local (or local enough) so in the meantime I'll see what I can do to find a box for postage but it won't be quick as I've got a lot on at the moment.
Clarky Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I have a BCer coming to view my Wal on Friday but alas I guess this will be sold by then
GT40Graham Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Now, if you were to buy some bubblewrap and brown tape, and package the whole thing up nicely, you could well have a sale. Regards,
Legion Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 Now sold (even without bubble wrap and tape)
