greyparrot Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) [color=#FF0000]DEAL DONE NO LONGER FOR SALE PENDING MEET .....CHEERS ALL AND THANKS FOR GREAT OFFERS[/color] 5 string to trade???? with the tweed case....why selling a £1700 bass for £600? because many years ago the bass had a break to the neck which was fixed, and is solid. I have had this bass for a year, and its nothing but a joy to play, the sound is awesome, its a real players bass. I have loads of clear you tube at bassmanrich44 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atOOBYvvT-U&feature=plcp[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=verNM4Eswx0&feature=plcp[/media] the slap stuff was done with duff strings. I bought this because i got into a buddy holly tribute, but now am in a rock band, and it sounds great, but im after a 5 string, thats my thing really. This bass is truly stunning it looks and feels amazing no buckle rash, hardly any dings no paint loss, only that repair. Before i bought the bass i had it on trail for 2 weeks i took it to 2 dealers both said the join to be solid and stronger than the original! Any one looking for a speacial P bass with soul this is it chaps. Tne ash trays are not fixed, but there to show, no holes have been drilled. The bass is a 1994 62 or 64 reissue, and comes with the tweed case as it came from the shop. I love this bass, but looking for something else (maybe) im not fussed if it does not sell to be honest. Looking for cash on collection/cheque but preferred is bank transfer. The price includes aps overnight delivery. Please call for more info on 07757875566. Who ever buys this bass will love it. Its a Proper P bass! I get many comments both live and on you tube regarding the look and tone of this class bass. The bass belong originally to a pro player, then he sold it to a mate of mine who had it 6 years then i bought it. There is about £350 off because of the break but TBH it is real mojo for a pro bass with its own soul!

BigBassBob Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 What sort of weight is this bass matey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBassman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Just to add in here. I've owned a number of basses that have had neck breaks. Repaired properly they have hardly, if any, effect on the physical operation. I've seen a luthier demonstrate this by bending a repaired neck to breaking point and it split on another section, the repair remained true, you could deduce stronger than before repair. This guitar has lasted this long I'd vouch the damage is aesthetic only. Good luck with the sale. Edited May 15, 2012 by CPBassman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
