Phoned the shop up to see if there was any movement at all on price, bloke wouldn't budge - which seemed strange considering he was selling it on behalf of a customer... TBH I'd want one with the original case. Sad thing was if the guy had made a token gesture (like £50 or something) I'd have bought it. Just too much cash for the condition. Frustrating when I've got the cash, but can't find the bass. I'm checking ebay US/Talkbass classifieds three times a day Edited April 18, 2008 by Jamesemt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozbass Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) "TBH I'd want one with the original case..." As indicated above, I sold mine with the case but these aren't much to get excited about - just an early ABS style form-fit - a picture (the best I have ot the inside of the case) attached below: Edited April 18, 2008 by lozbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how that can make a real difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a gorgeous one - also walnut - and the neck was like a wide, shallow plank of wood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
