[font=Verdana][size=2]Hi all, i am planning to go travelling around the world the world and want to sell my bass to help raise some cash. Details are below:[/size][/font]

[u][u][font=Verdana][size=2]Manufacturer's blurb:[/size][/font][/u][/u]
[font=Verdana][size=2]For a long time, a bass instrument’s “cool factor” didn’t much matter. More important was the sound, which had to be just right – and, if the one playing the bass was cool, then that was good enough. The Starplayer Bass now proves, however, that a low-tone instrument can have, in addition to great sound, an extremely cool look as well! This semi-acoustic bass, with its classic guitarmaking craftsmanship, arched top, arched bottom and bent sides, speaks to Duesenberg’s philosophy: to take the best design elements from the golden era of guitar-making and combine them with the most modern, functional equipment features of today – for example, Z-Tuners, a fully adjustable saddle, precisely placed bass humbucker, and much more (see technical specifications!).[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2]It’s no wonder that the creme de la creme of international bassists are only too happy to take the stage with this bass, which despite its medium scale (77.5 cm) lays down an extraordinary foundation, while simultaneously providing rich overtones. This bass both sings and swings – and it’s a true joy to play![/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2]This truly is a wonderful guitar and seeing as they are for sale for £2,000 new, ([/size][/font][color=#0f72da][url="http://www.duesenber.../pricesheet.pdf"]http://www.duesenber.../pricesheet.pdf[/url][/color]) [font=Verdana][size=1]then this stands to be a real bargain. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2]The case has some loose stitching and there is a tiny chip in the paint on the underside of the neck but this is only noticeable when pointed out and obviously does not affect it's high quality playing sound (see the picture). If you have any questions please ask. My personal emil address is [email="[email protected]"][color=#0f72da][email protected][/color][/email] and my mobile is 07732828100.[/size][/font]

[u][font=Verdana][size=2][b][u]Delivery:[/u][/b][/size][/font][/u]
[font=Verdana][size=2]I live in Bramhall, Cheshire and would certainly prefer a collection but if needed I will post it. I have not put a price on delivery as I do not want to rip off the buyer, or lose money myself so if you win the item, lets discuss the best way to get the item to you and if that involves me posting it out then obviously the winner will have to cover that cost too.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2]I have described the item as I see it and feel I have been honest. If you are not happy with the item for whatever reason I will refund the price but i will not cover the cost of re-delivery.[/size][/font]
