Stacker Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 There's one left in Red dog, Edinburgh. I tried it, acoustically, and it felt smooth, fast and really alive! They had it at £349 but I see they're going for under £300 on da web nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gub Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Cheers guys , just read machines review and he seems to like it , and for the money seems very good value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttley Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 It's worth looking out for second-hand examples. I got my fretless V1004 with maple top in near-perfect condition for less than £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I ended up buying a Vintage 4+1 Jazz type thingy for a project that required the look of a Jazz bass. I bought it I think for £350.... plays far better than any Fender 5 string I've tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
