Stacker Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) This is the 4001 I had up recently. The orginal thread has been deleted cos I withdrew the sale but I still need to shift some gear so here we go again. Was gonna keep it, refin in white and punt but I've not got the conviction to do it. [b]Sold[/b] Edited May 12, 2012 by Stacker
Stacker Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Ok, getting ready to part this out. Reasonable offers considered on all parts of this bass. Would still rather sell it as it is, though, but there are other things on the horizon.
brabasam Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Where are you based dude and would you take a swap for it ? Cheers

Though I may have to hang on to the 660DCM and the Tom Petty-12 until the market picks up again. No way am I letting them go for buttons!
Stacker Posted May 3, 2012 Author Posted May 3, 2012 Some offers going around, ex-Basschat, but rather low-ball. Thursday bump.

Plus, I've go my eye on some TC gear. I just want shot of all the Ricks; got enough basses for now, anyway, as the one below just arrived from Oz. Edited May 11, 2012 by Stacker

Very slim and smoooth neck. And that horsie n toaster together....
captain black Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Stacker, Sorry mate, I missed your earlier post. What's the story on this one? What's original and what's not? Joe
Stacker Posted May 12, 2012 Author Posted May 12, 2012 [quote name='captain black' timestamp='1336774417' post='1651039'] Stacker, Sorry mate, I missed your earlier post. What's the story on this one? What's original and what's not? Joe [/quote] Was once Jetglo but came to me in a natural-finished, gummed-up mess with a small resin(!!) fill on the rear of the cresting wave All this was hidden from me by the Yank dealer. Anyway, I had a couple of oil/wax finished basses at the time and sanded back. The bridge was exhibiting a lot of tail-lift, so I swapped that one out for a 7-screw 4003 model; I also swapped the rear pup out for a horsie reissue and jumped the rear cap, as most folk do. Neck/rods all ok, though the first inlay protrudes a little bit, obviously an old injury from when the neck was incorrectly set at some poing in the past. A refret would bring this bass up to a gigagble condition and my sale price reflects that.
Stacker Posted May 12, 2012 Author Posted May 12, 2012 Offers invited!! Gotta shift this, guys, but pl be polite and sensible with any offers. Again, no trades.
