RussFM Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I bought this last year because I've always wanted a Ric style bass, and never had £1200 to spend. Unfortunately with a wedding to pay for this year I need to sell a few things, and this will be first to go. It's as new, not a mark on it, I've only played it a handful of times. The neck is wider than I'm used to (as I normally play Jazz and Soundgear) but it's thinner than an OLP MM2 I once had.

Busybass Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi! I am from germany and I am very interested in the Retrovibe. Is it still for sale and would you also send it to cologne, germany for extra fee? Would be great! Thank you in advance for your reply. All the best!

RussFM Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi, sorry I'd missed this reply. I do not have a case for it and with the set neck I wouldn't be confident it would make it to Germany in one piece! UK collection or meet-up only, sorry!
